House, electro, Pop. Songwriter, producer, musician and DJ. These are the credits that Madeon owns and has been providing us with since 2009 from Nantes, France.
Madeon first became known in 2011 when he live sampled 39 hits to create his frantic yet perfectly sculptural “Pop Culture,” which instantly propelled the then-17-year-old to the international stage. By the time he released his debut album Adventure in 2015, Madeon was a globally beloved artist with production credits for Lady Gaga and Coldplay. Soon after, he teamed with Porter Robinson for “Shelter,” an immersive, ecstatic single he calls their “victory lap.”
Now, Madeon is perhaps a more deeply seasoned artist than wide-eyed dreamer from Nantes, France -- but he’s just as ambitious as ever.
Madeon can seem as much a musician as a world-building architect, and there’s no question his full vision for what comes next will soon shine through. But for the moment we have a single song, “All My Friends” - the radiant introduction to his new era, a brilliant statement of new purpose.
