Stromae
Paul Van Haver is a musician for his time with the charts, headlines and Youtube clicks to prove it. His stage name is Stromae. He rose to fame with a single called "Alors on Dance," which reached number 1 on the chart in 19 countries.
His music is often playful but almost always cut tough with a darker strain... His most popular songs of the moment are "Formidable,""Papaoutai" and "avf."
His music is ambiently morose, with an eclecticism that has earned him critical praise. He's very famous throughout the world. He draws inspiration from rap and hip hop, electro, congolese rumba, etc.
His mother is a Flemish Belgian and his father is a Rwandan Architect. He was absent for Stromae's childhood and he was killed in the Rwandan genocide in 1994.
Stromae has the unimposing physique of a high jumper, with hunched schoulders and a marionette's jumbly, longs limbs.
The official "Formidable" video has been watched more than 32 million times. His most recent album "Racine Carrée" has sold nearly 400 000 copies in France since its release in late August.
Really good!
