His grandfather was an opera singer at the "Scala de Milano" whereas his father, Gerard Badini, is a well known sax player and conductor thanks to his work with Duke Ellington, Stan Getz, Dee Dee Bridgewater, among others. Through out his teens, Jerome discovered Miles Davis, James Brown, Herbie Hancock and Prince. Then, house music from Chicago and New York invaded Paris...

Fueled on Maceo Parker and Bennie Maupin, Jerome Badini created his own style: electro-sax ! A powerhouse sound, terse and hypnotic, the sax is a trance-maker in his hands. He's been acclaimed performing live with dj-producers "Little" Louie Vega (Vinyl, New York), Derrick May (Amnesia, Ibiza) and DJ Sneak (Elysée-Montmartre, Paris).

Thanks to Dimitri From Paris, he met with Alexkid. Together, they composed Trindade for Trip Do Brasil (Sony). Then, with Ilene Barnes, he wrote Fantasy (IC Music) where the Detroit singer's deep voice can be heard answering Jerome's feverish sax. With David Duriez, he has recorded Get On Down (2020 Vision).
