Born on May 23, 1980, in a commune in Morlaix, France, Destable is a musician and producer. He started his career in the early 2000s as part of the electronic and hip-hop group Abstrackt Keal Agram before going solo in 2006. 

Under his stage name Tepr, he transitioned from experimental hip-hop to dance-oriented electronic music. He’s released several solo albums and an EP and has also composed music for films and video games. The successful musician has collaborated with Lady Gaga, and has been doing the soundtracks of Nicolas Ghesquière 's shows at Louis Vuitton since 2018.

His big break came with his remix of Yelle’s “À cause des garçons,” which led to him joining the band from 2007 to 2014.

Personal life

Destable was previously in a relationship with French actress Louise Bourgoin. The couple welcomed their first son in April 2016 and their second in 2020 before splitting in 2023. He told Billboard in 2017 he dedicated the track “Hello E” from his EP Inquisifunk to his firstborn son. “He was born a year ago, and I wanted to welcome him,” he told the outlet. “[The EP is] like a roller coaster, you have a lot of flavor, a lot of emotions, a lot of different feelings while listening to it.”

How long they’ve been dating

Portman and Destable were first linked in March 2025. According to PEOPLE, they’ve been spotted together in Paris multiple times, including attending a Louis Vuitton after-party during Paris Fashion Week on March 10, where Destable worked on the music for the event.
