A French pop-rock band from Yvelines, Kyo was formed in 1994 with members Benoît Poher (vocals and guitar), Nicolas Chassagne (guitar) Florian Dubos (guitar) and Fabien Dubos (drums, replaced in 2018 by Jocelyn Moze), united around a shared passion for grunge and the graphic world of manga and video games. Their first homonymous album, released in 2000, reached number 71 in the French charts. It was with the following album, Le Chemin, that the band met with success. Rated No. 2, it included the singles "Le Chemin" (No. 12), "Dernière danse" (No. 6), "Je cours" (No. 20) and "Je saigne encore " (No. 13). However, it was the following album, 300 Lésions, which gave Kyo its first and only No. 1 in 2004, with the singles "Contact" (No. 8) and "Sarah " (No. 33). Although the group took a break in 2008, so that its members could take part in other projects, such as musicals(Le Roi Soleil, Cléopâtre) and albums for other artists (Jenifer, Emma Daumas), the musicians reunited in 2014 for the recording of the album L'Équilibre (No. 2). In 2017, Kyo tried his hand at electro-pop with his fifth studio album, Dans la Peau (No. 29), then returned to rock in 2021 with his sixth album, La Part des Lions (No. 16).
