Stromae, born Paul Van Haver on March 12, 1985, in Brussels, Belgium, is a multifaceted talent who has carved out a niche for himself in the music world with his distinctive blend of hip-hop, electronic music, and chanson française. With a Rwandan father and a Belgian mother, Stromae's multicultural background is a key influence on his unique sound, which often incorporates African rhythms and European electronic beats. He rose to international fame with his 2009 hit "Alors On Danse" from the album "Cheese," which became a club sensation across Europe and beyond.

Stromae continued to build his reputation with his sophomore album, "Racine Carrée," released in 2013. The album was a critical and commercial success, featuring hits like "Papaoutai" and "Formidable," showcasing his ability to weave complex lyricism with danceable melodies. Beyond his music, Stromae is also known for his sharp fashion sense and entrepreneurial ventures, including his clothing brand Mosaert. After a hiatus, the artist made a grand return with the album "Multitude" in 2022, diving into diverse sounds and stories, proving once more his exceptional talent in pushing the boundaries of music and artistry.
