Pissenem was born in 1975 in Nancy, France, and grew up in a little village nearby alongside his brother Romain, his father who was the local mayor, and his mother who was a teacher.

Pissenem's journey in the nightlife industry began whilst studying law in the early 1990s, after he started organising rave parties in France and Belgium.

The success of these businesses, together with his growing reputation and his passion for electronic music, led him to create The Night League, the nightlife and entertainment events company he founded in 2001.

The small beach bar, which started offering a luxury daytime experience with comfortable sun beds, drinks and music, quickly became popular.

[21] Set to open in October 2024, the Dubai event host performances from electronic music artists including Calvin Harris and Adriatique, Black Coffee and others.
