Paper Idol is an emerging talent in the realm of electronic and indie pop music, quickly gaining attention for their vibrant fusion of genres and emotive storytelling. Spearheaded by the artistic vision of Matan KG, Paper Idol began as a college dorm project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, blending elements of dance music with an indie sensibility. Matan's background in classical piano and jazz drums, combined with a penchant for production, songwriting, and vocal performance, has allowed Paper Idol to craft a unique sound that resonates with a growing audience of music enthusiasts.

Since debuting, Paper Idol has embarked on an exploratory musical journey, resulting in a diverse discography that touches on themes of love, self-discovery, and existential musings. Tracks like "I Might Be A Believer" and "Runnin' Mouth" showcase the project's dynamic range—from introspective lyrics to compelling grooves that invite listeners to both reflect and dance. With recent releases like "The Playground" and its various renditions capturing the attention of the electronic music scene, and the emotive depth of songs such as "imstillhere" and "Young Hearts," Paper Idol continues to evolve. The project's ability to blend catchy hooks with thought-provoking lyrics demonstrates a promising trajectory in the landscape of contemporary music.
