Steevy Gustave

Steevy Gustave (born 5 February 1970) is a French politician, dancer and artistic producer. A member of The Ecologists, he was elected deputy of the National Assembly in July 2024 in the Essonne's 3rd constituency.

Biography The son of a soldier, Steevy Gustave spent his childhood in Chad and then in Djibouti, where his father, from Martinique, died in 1983 while serving in the French armed forces, leaving a 36-year-old widow and five children. At the age of 13, he returned to live with his family in Brétigny-sur-Orge. Steevy Gustave then became a ward of the Nation.

Passionate about dance, he launched into the hip hop scene. This passion led him to participate in the European Championship in 1989. At the time, he led a hip-hop dance association in Brétigny-sur-Orge.

In 1993, he met the singer France Gall during a scouting at the Théâtre Mogador in Paris, and for around ten years he was one of her dancers and her choreographer.

During the period 2007 to 2014, Steevy Gustave produced and programmed numerous artistic events.

In 2019, he created his events company LabeLife Events SAS.

He is the father of two daughters.

Steevy Gustave joined the Brétigny-sur-Orge municipal council in 2001. From 2008 to 2014, he was deputy mayor Bernard Decaux (Socialist Party). He was "in charge of the mission for people under the control of the justice system", i.e. enabling access to culture for prisoners. Shortly before the elections, individuals broke into his home to tag his walls: "Dirty nigger, you won't be mayor".

He ran again in 2022 under the Nupés label and came first in the first round with 28.72% of the vote but was beaten in the second round with 48.82% of the vote against Alexis Izard, LREM (ENS). Stefan Milosevic (45.47% of the vote).

On 9 July 2024, he was attacked by another MP with racist remarks, who particularly criticized his dreadlocks. In the Assembly, he sat on the Cultural and Education Affairs Committee.
