Boris Equestri, known professionally as Boris Way, is a French DJ and record producer.[1] He is best known for his 2017 song "Your Love" which charted in France at 87th.
Early life and career[edit]
Equestri was born in Draguignan and spent his childhood in Cavalaire-sur-Mer.[1] He played in rock bands in his early life and as a teenager, he played the guitar and the drums after having discovered his interest in clubbing.[1] His career began as a disc jockey in clubs of Nice, which is the city he settled in.[1] He performed at the Mas d'Estel beach area as a guest of fellow French DJ and producer Kungs, at the Summer Vibes festival in Saint-Aygulf as a guest of deep house duo Ofenbach and at Amnesia as a guest of his friend Quentin Mosimann.[1]
Being resident DJ at L'Étoile, he began producing music and sent them to record labels before releasing two singles, "Sunday" and "Come Fire", with Spinnin' Records.[1] He later signed a contract with Parlophone of Warner Music and released the single "Your Love".[4] The song featured vocalist Tom Bailey, who was from the same publishing company as Equestri.[5] The song was created when Bailey sent him a demo, which was eventually signed by Warner and was sent for radio airplay.[5]
