	Also Parisian, Yann Destagnol learned to play the [[flute]] and [[clarinet]] as a small child. As he grew older, he became deeply influenced by [[the Beatles]], [[the Beach Boys]], [[David Bowie]], and other pop acts. He started playing drums by emulating them and also learned to play the piano and guitar. He later bought a four-track recording machine and began singing and songwriting. Fascinated more by voices than by charismatic bandleaders, he admired bands such as [[Aerosmith]], [[~~The~~ Police]], and [[Queen (band)\|Queen]], and later became an avid fan of [[Contemporary R&B\|R&B]] divas.<ref>{{cite web \|title=Modjo - Biography \|url=http://modjo.com/ \|website=Modjo Music presents Modjo \|publisher=Modjo Music \|access-date=13 May 2025}}</ref>		Also Parisian, Yann Destagnol learned to play the [[flute]] and [[clarinet]] as a small child.
