Don Diablo (born February 27, 1980 as Don Pepijn Schipper) is a Dutch record producer, songwriter, artist, DJ. His parents named him after Don van Vliet (Captain Beefheart).
Don Diablo's hectic tour schedule has taken him from London to Tokyo and from Miami to Sydney, playing at clubs and festivals like Glastonbury, Creamfields, Tomorrowland, Future Music Festival, Ministry of Sound, Razzmatazz and Space (Ibiza) to name a few. While travelling the world, Don Diablo also managed to complete his studies and scoop up a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism. Besides his own career as an artist, Don Diablo has also produced for other people. You can hear one of his co-productions “Make You Pop” in the brand new (worldwide) Diplo Blackberry campaign. Don recently worked with artists like Rox, Example, Dragonette, Sidney Samson, Diplo and Ou est le Swimming pool and remixed for the Tinie Tempah, Mika, Chemical Brothers, Cassius, Gorillaz, Public Enemy, Iggy Pop, Plump DJ's and many others (see below for a full list). Don Diablo proved his ability in A & R by discovering, signing and then licensing the UK top 3 chart hit Exceeder by Mason. The record was originally signed to Middle of the Road; a record label set up by Don Diablo and infamous Amsterdam based club promoter Roy Avni (Electro Nation) who passed away in 2010.
Don Diablo has also been very active in the blogscene. According to North American music blog aggregator The Hype Machine he was named “Most Blogged Artist' in the world several times. Which did not just give lots of kudos from the internet community and the alternative press, but also brought him in contact with artists like Diplo, Example and the singer of the Canadian electropop group Dragonette: Martina Sorbara. A collaboration between the two resulted in the single: “Animale”. The musicvideo that accompanied the single became a big online hit and was nominated for a TMF award in the category "best video of the year" (2011).

Le Friant has also worked under other pseudonyms. Under the aliases The Mighty Bop and ''Reminiscence Quartet'', he has dabbled in hip-hop and acid jazz. He also created the ''Africanism'' project, where an ensemble of artists produce house music with a combination of Latin, jazz, African and tribal flavours.
In 2005, he scored a worldwide hit with the single "Love Generation", that reached #1 in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Hungary and Mexico. The song was a huge success throughout Europe, peaking #2 in Netherlands and it stayed 39 weeks in the Belgian Ultratop Singles chart. It made the top fifteen in several other countries such as Argentina, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.
It became one of the official anthems for the 2006 FIFA World Cup held in Germany. The follow-up hit was "World, Hold On", that features Steve Edwards and also managed to chart in the top ten in most European countries. "Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now)" followed on 22 August 2006. The remix of "World, Hold on" by E-Smoove was nominated for a Grammy in 2007 in the category of Remixed Recording. Also, "World, Hold On" topped in Billboard's as Number One Hot Dance Club Play Single of 2006, beating Madonna and Christina Aguilera. The fourth single of the album Western Dream, called "Tennessee" was supposed to be released in April 2007, but has been cancelled due to the rumour of a new album being released.
On May 21, 2007, he released the ''Soundz of Freedom'' album. The remix of "Rock This Party" reached number 1 in the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. His latest album, ''Born in 69'', was released on 7 May 2009. The first single of the album is ''Lala Song''.
In 2010, Bob Sinclar released ''Made In Jamaïca''. The album contains two additional new songs "I Wanna" featuring Shaggy and "Rainbow of Love", and also features his best greatest hits such as "Love Generation", "Give A Lil' Love" among others but in a reggae musical style. The album is nominated for "Best Reggae Album" for the 53rd Grammy Awards. This is Bob Sinclar's second Grammy nomination.
In summer 2011 Sinclar had a hit throughout Europe with the remix of Raffaella Carrà's song ''A far l'amore comincia tu'' (''You start making love''), renamed ''Far l'amore'' (''Making Love'').
Sinclar is now working on a dance track with British pop songstress Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
