Riff Reb's, whose real name remains a secret, was born in Algeria, but moved to France in his childhood. In 1983, he collaborated on a collective album, 'Neuvième Cauchemar' and in the same year, he started an education in decorative arts. A year later, he founded the Asylum studios, where he was soon joined by fellow artists like Édith, Kisler, Cromwell, Ralph, Gonnort, Joe Ruffner and Karim. Together, these artists worked on 'Les Mondes Engloutis', an animation series, adapted into comic form at the same time for Casterman.

Along with Cromwell, Édith and Ralph, Riff Reb's created 'Le Bal de la Soeur' in 1985. Later on, he started his first series, 'Myrtil Fauvette', for which he did both artwork and scenarios. In addition, he was present at the publisher Rackham with books like 'Dis Bonjour à la Dame' and 'Le Kid et Bergson'. From 1993 to 1996, he illustrated several small humorous books for Sirene, containing themes like basketball, football, rock music and horses. At Albin Michel, he created the series 'Glam et Comet' with Abuli in 2005. With his dynamic graphics, Riff Reb's has established himself as one of the founding fathers of a new school of comic artists.
