Despite the name, Twin Twin in actually a trio consisting of Lorent Idir, François Djemel and Patrick Biyik. The group was formed in 2009. Lorent and François are twins, hence the group name. They had previously performed together as part of the group Chimère. Apart from their own distinct musical style, blending elements of electro, hip-hop, rock, slam and techno, they also have a particularly striking visual image.

The trio won the SFR Jeunes Talents competition in 2010, giving them much needed exposure. During they next few years, they worked hard and many doors were opened to them. They have acted as warm up act for a number of acts, including Stromae. Appearances at music festivals such as Rock en Seine and Solidays followed. Their debut single By My Side was included on an EP released on the Warner Music label in 2011. A further two singles, Comme Toi and Moi Même appeared the following year as a prelude to their first proper album, Vive la Vie, which came out in 2013.
