Originally from Dallas, Texas, Marc Rebillet is a French-American electronic musician and YouTuber who now resides in New York City. The smooth, witty lyrics of Rebillet’s techno-funk and hip-hop improvisations are well known. Rebillet produces his music at his apartment utilizing loop stations, keyboards, vocals, and percussion. He usually uses YouTube videos and Twitch livestreams to distribute his work. Three studio albums and two extended recordings have been released by him.
The mother and father of Rebillet are both from South Carolina. His parents first met there. At Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, Rebillet studied classical music until he was fifteen years old. He began playing the piano at the age of four.
Following an interview with Fox 4 in Dallas in 2007, while he was in line to be among the first to get an iPhone, Rebillet first rose to fame. One woman attempted to purchase numerous phones to resale while paying Rebillet $800 to move to the front of the line. Because the store only permitted one iPhone to be sold to a customer, the scheme backfired. The encounter’s video has received 4 million views.
After a year of studying acting at Southern Methodist University, Rebillet left. Rebillet recorded songs under the stage name “Leae” for the following ten years while working as a waitress, administrative assistant, and corporate contact center. To care for his father who has Alzheimer’s disease, Rebillet left Dallas in 2011 for New York City and came back in 2014. [6][7][5]
Rebillet asserted in 2016 on Reddit that he had discovered an allegedly unreleased 1998 album by Sufjan Stevens in a dumpster outside the Brooklyn offices of the record label Asthmatic Kitty in Dumbo. Although the legitimacy of the record could not be verified, a label representative who reacted to the post asked Rebillet not to distribute it. Rebillet began uploading and sharing albums on 4chan a few hours later. [8] He expressed guilt for disobeying the label’s requests but insisted he intended to keep the album online in an interview with Stereogum the next day. Rebillet was questioned about the validity of the record and responded, “I have neither the time nor the inclination to prove its authenticity.”
