Romain Séo, also known under the pseudonym Raw Man (in the French "Touch" house music scene), born August 18, 1975 in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, is a French multi instrumentalist musician (guitar ,bass, drums, synths) & music composer for TV, films, commercials.
He also plays in the electro-pop duo My Dear with his wife Blanche Cabanel.
Raw Man, French musician since the age of 13, then composer and producer, has always drawn two musical ways : rock and electro music. From 1998, his first house records are released on respective labels of Daft Punk : Roulé (Scratché) and Crydamoure. With Play Paul, Guy-Man's brother, Raw Man forms The Buffalo Bunch (“Buffalo Club”), then he’ll use others names depending on his projects as We in Music or For the Floorz, before creating, in 2000, his own label We Rock Music to focus on his electro and house projects. In 2004, he founds the rock band Amen Birdmen with Cyril Bodin (singer of Aloud). Their music is a mix of 90’s rock and electro. Summer 2008, Kitsuné released his electro track “Wargame”. Since then, Raw Man currently works on 3 different projects : Amen Birdmen (rock band), Priors (electro-house band with Yann Destal, singer of Modjo) & Raw Man & Blanche (an electro pop duo with his lover Blanche) which later bacame My Dear.
Trivia: Play Paul gave him the "Raw Man" moniker, a play on his real name, “Romain”, which is hard for non-French-speaking people to say correctly ("He was always great for coming up with artist names. Paul even came up with “The Buffalo Bunch” name ").
