Woodkid is the stage name for Yoann Lemoine, a french musician, who has been active since 2006. He actually went to school for animation and illustration and received a lot of awards and acclamation for his film work. It's rumored that he got into music because a musician gave him a ukulele while working together on set. Woodkid is his first musical project, and its supposed to be about the transition from childhood to adulthood, about a kid who starts organic and becomes marble. His first EP came out in 2011, and songs have since been featured in popular TV shows, films and video games. In 2012 he announced his first album, which was released in 2013. One of the songs from it has received awards for the video which he himself directed and has been used in virtually everything, most recently the Umbrella Academy. In 2014, he received what is essentially a French Grammy, and worked as a creative director for some big names, as well as performed at Coachella. He's performed at a multitude of festivals, with all kinds of artists and orchestras, and he's still going strong. I have a couple songs from him to show you, so I hope you'll like them.
Peace.
