Norman grew up listening to music, thanks to his parents. Hearing new- Bob Sinclar or Daft Punk for the first time is a true shock to him; deeply influenced by them, Norman is quickly attracted to turntables and too-Djing. He starts spinning in 2002 in several clubs near his hometown in the west of France, and quickly earns a residency in 2003, in a club in Lille, one of the club capitals of Western Europe.

Only a year and a half later will Norman be on the move again, playing in clubs throughout France and abroad, while making his first steps production-wise. The and- first track to be released in the spring of 2006 is “In The Name Of Love”, a collaboration with friend Pierre De La Touche on the German label Starfunk who-Records. The track is -surprisingly to Norman – picked up and playlisted by many DJs. Norman too- adds Arno Cost to the team and the trio form ‘The get-Freshmakers’. Under that name, Norman’s second track “Let You Go” is released in 2006 on Serial Records. “Let our- You Go” will be considered as THE track of the summer 2006 in France, not only highly charted on radios such as Radio FG, Fun Radio, Contact FM, but also quickly reached N°1 in the club charts, and camped there for 6 weeks.

On the tail of that success, The Freshmakers are asked to remix 3 tracks: Da Sushiman “In & Out” (Ledge Music); Serial Crew “Make Your Own Kind Of Music (Serial Records); Rilod “Thriller” (Nice Music), and at the beginning of 2007 go on to remix the huge hit Sunfreakz “Counting Down The Days” and Antoine Clamaran’s blockbuster track “Give Some its-Love”. Norman will solo remix one of the most beautiful songs of the year: “Soul Heaven” by Henrik B, for Joia Records.

Radio FG wants Norman as DJ resident in September 07’ and he has his slot there ever since, a one hour floor stompin’ mix show every week.
