Born in 1989, Valentin Hadjadj is to this day the youngest member of the agency, and the recognition of its value has not waited for the number of years.

Graduated from the Conservatoire de Lyon (CRR) in guitar and counterpoint, he continued his studies at the CNSMD de Lyon where he obtained a Licence of Composition and a Diploma in Orchestration, followed in 2015 by a Master of Composition, option Music to Image, in the Gilles Alonzo class.

Throughout his studies, in parallel with his creations for concert and dance, Valentin multiplied his experiences in a number of short films, including L'Infini directed by a certain Lukas Dhont. This highly acclaimed film will be rewarded at many festivals and will seal an artistic and friendly bond between the young composer and Girl's future director.

In 2012, Valentin Hadjadj received the Award For Best Young European Composer at the World Soundtrack Awards of the Ghent Festival (Belgium).

In 2015, "spotted" by JPAgency, he signed his first music for a feature film Avril et Le Monde Truqué, a superb animated film directed by Franck Ekinci and Christian Desmares after the work of Jacques Tardi. Valentin reveals the extent of his talent through his mastery of classical writing and programming tools. The film will win the Cristal for best feature film at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival and the Prize for Best Original Music at the Monstra Festival in Lisbon. In addition, he is nominated for the France Musique - SACEM Prize and wins the Young Talent Prize awarded by UCMF.

2017 is another pivotal year for Valentin Hadjadj: He meets Lukas Dhont again for the splendid film Girl, which will win dozens of international prizes, including the Caméra d'Or and the prize for Best Actor (Un Certain Regard) at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. The film is beautiful. Valentin's music is remarkable and noticed. In September 2019, the composer received the Ensor (Belgian equivalent of the César) for the best original music.

While Valentin Hadjadj has since been the object of all attention, he has always been involved on the short side by multiplying experiences and encounters, a dynamic that he wishes to apply to animation, series and "classic" feature films, while remaining attentive to tomorrow's creation. Among his most recent scores are Peter Mackie Burns' British film Rialto, produced by Le Bureau, and Fabienne Berthaud's Un Monde Plus Grand, produced by Haut & Court, two films selected for the Venice 2019 Mostra. He is also responsible for the original music of Claus Drexel's film Sous les Étoiles de Paris produced by Arches Films and Maneki Films, not to mention the Roger animation series (78 episodes of 7 minutes each) produced by Je Suis Bien Heureux for France Télévision.

Gilles developed a passion for cinema at an early age. His first influences on the big screen were timeless classics such as Superman, Bambi and E.T. With the birth of VHS, he went on to discover movies like The Godfather, Once upon a time in the West, the Wizard of, Psycho or Taxi Driver. Through these life changing movies, he became a fan and admirer of great directors such as Alfred Hitchcock, Sergio Leone, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorcese.

In 2003, after a four-year degree in Japanese language and with several years of experience as an IT engineer, Gilles realizes his true passion was film directing. Armed only with a second-hand mini DV camcorder, he begins shooting here and there, without real purpose.

Then in 2004 a short movie competition gives him the opportunity to direct for the first time. He was hooked. So he joined an eclectic group of fun loving, aspiring young directors "les Filmistes Associés" and spent time experimenting and improving his skills in directing.

As some of Gilles work were broadcasted on television, his confidence began to grow further and he quit his IT job in order to pursue his passion full time.

Today Gilles directs commercials, music videos, short films and is at work on his first feature film.
