L'histoire de NTO c'est celle d'une rencontre. Celle d'un gamin du Sud de la France avec la musique électronique et le dancefloor. Après une virée au Sziget Festival à 18 ans, il fréquente assidûment La Villa Rouge et le Bar Live, deux clubs mythiques de Montpellier. La techno minimale allemande est en plein essor et Anthony Favier passe ses nuits à écouter Stephan Bodzin, James Holden ou les débuts de Paul Kalkbrenner : "le plus gros coup de cœur de ma vie". Le pouvoir évocateur des mélodies, la puissance du kick, l'ambiance fédératrice du dancefloor : un triptyque qui va le pousser frénétiquement vers la production sans passer par la case DJ.

La rencontre c'est aussi celle avec Worakls et Joachim Pastor avec lesquels il va fonder Hungry Music en 2013. De l'Olympia aux Vieilles Charrues, ils apprennent à maîtriser la scène ensemble. Grâce à ses tubes "Trauma" et "La clé des champs", qui cumulent plusieurs millions d'écoutes sur les plateformes, la carrière de NTO prend son envol à l'international que ce soit aux Pays-Bas, en Allemagne, dans l'Est de l'Europe ou au Canada...

Aujourd'hui, NTO entame un nouveau chapitre de sa carrière. Basses profondes et harmonies lysergiques, il filtre ses mélodies pour mieux les faire jaillir, éclatantes, comme on sortirait de l'eau après avoir touché le fond. Son premier album est en préparation !

The story behind NTO started with a match made in heaven, a kid from the South of France always hooked to his guitar, and electronic and dance music. After going to the Sziget Festival when he was 18, NTO started to hang out regularly at La Villa Rouge, and Bar Live, two legendary clubs in the South of France. At the time, German minimal techno music was booming and Anthony Favier would spend his nights listening to Stephan Bodzin, James Holden, or the very beginnings of Paul Kalkbrenner: "My biggest music crush of all time”. The evocative power of music, strong kicks and the unifying atmosphere of dancefloors: this is the triple focus that will inspire him to create and produce music without going through the usually mandatory DJ phase.

The story behind NTO is also about his friendship with Worakls and Joachim Pastor, with whom he created Hungry Music in 2013. Performing together on the Olympia’s stage to the Vieilles Charrues Festival, they learned to master the stage, and seduced a new generation that would follow them faithfully from this moment on. Thanks to his hits "Trauma" and "La clé des champs", which account for several millions of streams on DSPs, NTO's career took off internationally: from The Netherlands, to Germany, to Eastern Europe to Canada...

Today, NTO is about to start a new chapter of his career. With deep basses and lysergic harmonies, he filters different layers of his melodies to make them sparkle even more, just as if they emerged from the water after hitting rock bottom. NTO is currently working on his first album.
