ABOUT MADEON
“It feels like I just came home from a giant trip, a vacation somewhere. I haven't communicated pretty much in any way since 'Shelter.' I just saved up my story for the past three years. And I'm gonna tell it now.” —Madeon
Hugo Leclercq, the Grammy-nominated musician known as Madeon, first appeared to many as something like a teenaged fireball. In 2011, his frantic yet perfectly sculptural “Pop Culture” famously sampled 39 hits, live, from Daft Punk to Solange, instantly propelling the then-17-year-old to the international stage. By the time of 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 longtime friend Porter Robinson for “Shelter,” an immersive, ecstatic single he calls their “victory lap.”
Now, a few years later, Madeon is perhaps a more deeply seasoned artist than wide-eyed dreamer from Nantes, France -- but he’s just as ambitious as ever. “I knew if I wanted to make something different, I needed to change my life around,” he says, so he moved to Los Angeles to focus on the project in a new way. “I wanted to wake up in the morning and feel like every second of my life was about Madeon. My walls are covered with concept art and logo designs and instruments and references and records that I love. It’s all I do from the minute I wake up to the minute I go to bed.”
Often, Madeon can seem as much a musician as a world-building architect, and there’s no question his full vision for Good Faith is shining through in high definition, standing as a brilliant statement of new purpose. Good Faith, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Albums chart and received a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album, was released on November 15, 2019.
