A musical auteur whose quirky sensibilities and sharp, minimalist productions have earned him much acclaim, French multi-instrumentalist Mathieu Boogaerts surfaced in 1996 with debut album Super. He's become known for his stripped-down disco-funk, with elements of Afropop and reggae, but this singer/songwriter has a far-reaching style that ranges from indie-electronica to alt-rock. Often tinged with humour and realism, his endearing laidback hits are delivered with a voice as soft as a whisper—making Boogaerts a respected name in France's alt music scene.
