Stuart Price (born Stuart David Price, 9 September 1977, Paris) is a British electronic musician, songwriter, and record producer whose remixing and production skills are coveted by artists including Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Missy Elliott, The Killers, Gwen Stefani, Seal, Keane and Frankmusik. His acts include British electronic pop/rock band Zoot Woman (with Adam and Jonny Blake), Les Rythmes Digitales, Paper Faces, Man With Guitar, Thin White Duke, and the parodic French moniker Jacques Lu Cont, though he actually grew up in Reading, England. Price's use of the names Jacques Lu Cont and Les Rythmes Digitales was initially a reference to the then current vogue for French house in the United Kingdom; artists such as Daft Punk, Etienne de Crécy, Dimitri from Paris and Air were all experiencing popularity. Price even went as far as to conduct interviews with British journalists in French via an interpreter. In interviews from around this time, Price also claimed that he had grown up listening exclusively to classical music, until one day encountering the album Dare by the Human League. Certainly, Price was heavily influenced by music from the 1980s, and all his records and sideprojects bear a heavy debt to the 80s sounds of synthpop bands.
