Hugel began his career as a DJ at the age of 16 in his hometown of Marseille, France. Inspired by artists such as Daft Punk, Carl Cox, and Laurent Garnier, he quickly developed a passion for electronic dance music. In 2017, Hugel gained significant attention with his collaboration with Robin Schulz on the gold-certified track "I Believe I'm Fine".
His breakthrough came in 2018 with his remix of El Profesor's "Bella Ciao", which became the official German summer hit of that year and achieved platinum status in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The remix has amassed over 280 million streams worldwide.
Hugel has since become a prominent figure in the electronic dance music scene, performing at major festivals such as Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, and Lollapalooza. He has also held residencies at renowned clubs in Ibiza, including Ushuaia and Pacha.
In 2021, Hugel released "Morenita", which further solidified his position in the industry and helped establish the Latin house genre. In 2024, he released "I Adore You", which is a collaboration with German DJ Topic and Iranian-Swedish singer Arash. The song quickly became a commercial success worldwide.
