The biggest summer hit of 2011? The best album of 2011? Belgian or Australian? The fastest selling Belgian artist at the AB of 2011? The fastest selling Australian artist at the AB of 2011? In February 2012 back at the AB!
In fact it's Wouter 'Wally' De Backer, born in Bruges, Belgium but raised in Melbourne, Australia. Lets just say 'Wally from Gotye', as this pedigree musician has been occupied by music and sound and recordings for a while now and Gotye is his most spot-on project. Drumming and singing intently at the same time? No worries! Meanwhile striving to find the perfect pop song? That seems to have been working for three CDs long now! By 'perfect' we mean: one of those musical gems where rhythm and melody, beauty and content harmoniously combine. To be found in the section where Empire Of The Sun also happens to score (but you may also think Sting or Thomas Dolby.)
