Stromae is an internationally acclaimed Belgian-born artist, writer, performer, producer, designer and director. Born Paul Van Haver in 1985 in Brussels, to a Belgian mother and a Rwandan father, he grew up navigating layered identities—experiences that would later inform his multidisciplinary and empathetic approach to creation. An innate alchemist of opposites, he found the magic formula for mixing rap, pop, afrobeat and francophone lyrics without distorting the essence of any. His debut album Cheese (2010), propelled by the global anthem Alors on danse, marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey. That same year, he founded Mosaert—a creative house named after an anagram of Stromae — with Coralie Barbier and Luc Van Haver, establishing a home for artistic freedom across music, fashion, and audiovisuals. After the chart-topping success of Racine Carrée (2013) and over 6 million albums sold, Stromae stepped away from the spotlight to expand Mosaert’s universe—designing capsule collections and directing award-winning videos for artists like Dua Lipa and Billie Eilish. He returned in 2022 with his third album Multitude—a musical atlas of empathy, weaving global instruments into portraits of everyday lives. With over 17.5 billion streams, 9 million albums sold, more than 2 billion views on Youtube and history-making shows at Madison Square Garden, Ma Meilleure Ennemie confirmed this global resonance—breaking Spotify’s all-time streaming record for a French-language song and reaching the top 3 of the most-streamed tracks worldwide. Stromae continues exploring the world while remaining deeply rooted in it.
