Raised in Europe and New York City, Didier relocated his studio to the Hollywood Hills. He immediately landed several choice projects, including composing for the final season of Sex and the City, and has been busy ever since. The last four years have seen Didier score over 30 Film and Television projects. He is fast becoming known for his innovative, lyrical and compelling scores, as well as for his inclusive collaborative process and meticulous attention to detail.

Didier was drawn to music and the arts at a very young age, his ears being twisted by many musical dialects along the way. It was as a young boy on holiday in Casablanca, during a screening of an ancient print of Papillon, that he found his calling. In that makeshift Casbah cinema, complete with a white linen sheet screen and mono loudspeaker, Didier became captivated by the power of music married to the moving image. Living in France, England, Switzerland and NYC expanded his cultural awareness and influenced his music.

The son of world-renowned French chef Jean-Jacques Rachou (of La Côte Basque fame), he learned first-hand how to balance art and commerce in a high-pressured environment. L’haute cuisine also instilled within him an insane work ethic. Fortunately, he emerged from <<la cuisine>> with all of his digits still intact...

After receiving his BA in Composition and Jazz Performance from the Manhattan School of Music, Didier continued his compositional studies, studying privately at The Juilliard School.

Didier holds dual-citizenship with France and the US.
