← Back | Musician | 3 Music Videos
Mr. Oizo, whose real name is Quentin Dupieux, is a French musician and filmmaker, living the best of both worlds. He came to prominence in 1999 with his dance hit "Flat Beat", widely acknowledged as a masterpiece of its genre. The track was a resounding success, mainly attributable to its irreverent and unconventional music video which features a puppet named “Flat Eric” bopping his head to the beats. Interestingly, despite having no proper dialogue or discernible narrative, the clip has garnered an excess of 30 million views on YouTube, attesting to its novel appeal.
In addition to making waves in the music world as Mr. Oizo, Dupieux is also a highly regarded filmmaker. Not many aficionados know that Dupieux was the mastermind behind Levi's iconic "Flat Eric" commercial campaign, an amusing trivia nugget that testifies his artistic versatility. His feature films, such as ‘Rubber’ and ‘Reality’, have bedazzled audiences and critics alike, with their uncanny narratives and whimsical yet surrealistic visual style. Using his music videos as a launch pad, Dupieux has carved an inimitable niche for himself in the overlapping domains of sound and vision, making him a singular figure in the music and film industries.
