Stromae

WME and IMG both truly understand and value my music and Mosaert's creative visions; they are forward-thinking, all-encompassing, and thoughtful in how they envision me continuing to grow.

I knew of the Sapeur community for a long time, and they're an important influence for me.

I'm more the kind of man who never makes decisions. But impulsivity is not the opposite of courage; I think it's possible to do both.

Everyone should have a suit that's really well fitting - if a suit just doesn't fit, it looks ridiculous. It can purposely be too large or too small, if that's what you want, but it has to fit with your image and personal style.

If I was just trying to imitate an American or English singer, it would sound fake. I'm sure of it.

Music is like a medicine.

Hip-hop, pop, dance - the common point is melancholy. That's international, and I like this word because it's not only about sadness or happiness - it's both at the same time. And that's human, and that's life.

Maybe I just look at things as a humanist: I like looking at people in a realistic way more than looking at them in a positive way.

I'm sure, ever since I was really young, that happiness is not a bottle of champagne and a girl and a limousine and a swimming pool.

To me, 'Alors On Danse' is the definition of clubbing. Because everyone is just trying to forget their problems, but actually, it's so sad, clubbing. We try to sell happiness in clubs, but you can't.

I want to have not only the good side of life but the bad side of life. And the both combined is just my music. It's funny at the same time as it's sad.

I think the Congolese music is more important in the African community that Rwandan. You know, Rwanda is not musically really important in Africa. It's interesting, of course. But Congolese rumba was so huge in Africa that everybody was inspired by it.
