Paul Van
Haver, known as Stromae, is a singer songwriter hailing from Brussels (BE). He
has made already two studio albums, Cheese and Racine Carrée and won a lot of
prizes such as Best Belgian artist,
Best album of the year and Best live performance.
The Belgian
star conquered his country quickly; conquering the rest of Europe was just a
matter of time.
Past year,
he made his debut in the United States.
When some American artists saw him perform, they were absolutely
stunned. For example: Lorde wanted to
work with Stromae after she saw his performance. Sam Smith, Diplo, Kanye West
are also big fans.
A couple of
days ago, Stromae made a big step in his career. He contributed for the
soundtrack of the newest movie The Hunger Games together with Kanye West,
CHVRCHES, Chemical Brothers and many more
Normally
you need a publisher to get your artists music in a movie or a TV show, but
thats not what happened with Stromae
Because he
made an unbelievable impression in the USA, everyone wants to work with him and
he gets offers from artists such as contributing with a song for the new The
Hunger Games movie.
Stromae is
the best example that you dont have to be from the UK or the USA to have a
worldwide success. If the talent is there, the world is your playground.
