Profile

Yann Bigay
PANAMÆRA
CEO

Born and raised in a small French town, Yann Bigay made the leap to Paris at 20 with one big goal: to live unforgettable moments in entertainment, especially in the music industry.

In 2010, he quickly became the right-hand man to the founder of independent record label On And On. He was right in the mix, working with music acts like Hocus Pocus and C2C, who went on to become one of Europe’s biggest success stories of the decade.

After that, Yann joined Universal Music and dived into marketing and coordination for big-name artists like Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Lana Del Rey, Imagine Dragons, and the local rapper Nekfeu, whose debut album “FEU” shot straight to #1 on the global charts. Along the way, he’s been fortunate to help sell millions of albums and collaborate with A&R on discovering and developing talents.

In 2015, he co-founded PANAMÆRA, a creative visual production company with a global reach. They specialize in turning artists’ and brands’ visions into memorable moving and still images. As CEO and Executive Producer, Yann has tackled over 60 music videos for major international acts like Kendrick, SZA, Fergie, Stormzy, and Will.i.am, as well as main local acts like SCH, Damso, Aya Nakamura, Petit Biscuit, and The Avener. PANAMÆRA has also produced ads for big-name clients in entertainment, fashion, and luxury, including Netflix, Balmain, Lancôme, Nike, Givenchy, and Yves Saint Laurent.

While doing all this, Yann has continued to manage, produce, and develop music artists like Mai Lan, BLV, and Jim Bauer, among others.

He’s been lucky to travel and collaborate with many amazing agencies, clients, and talents across the world. These days, Yann is freelancing with agencies, productions, and clients while focusing on developing some mid-term and long-term collective projects.
