Woodkid

Woodkid, whose real name is Yoann Lemoine, is a creative engine in both the music and visual arts scene. Renowned for directing award-winning music videos and emitting hauntingly beautiful tunes, his craft transcends the conventional music industry boundaries. Among his notable works includes a video for Lana Del Rey's "Born to Die," which showcases his skill in capturing intense emotions with a cinematographic lens. There’s also Drake and Rihanna’s “Take Care” which further extends his diverse portfolio – interestingly, Lemoine didn’t know who Drake was before they collaborated!

His journey from being a graphic designer to being an accomplished artist is both intriguing and inspiring. As a music artist, he collected vast accolades with his album "The Golden Age," which almost feels like a soundtrack to some epic, yet-to-be-made film due to its orchestral emotion eliciting sounds. His self-directed monochrome video "Iron," which stars model Agyness Deyn being chased by gargantuan creatures, is a testament to his mastery of mixing high spectacle visuals with evocative music. Another Woodkid's masterpiece is "Run Boy Run," which was nominated for a Grammy for Best Music Video. The video presents a fantastical world where the protagonist, a young boy, races against and alongside colossal beasts – the interesting fact is that Woodkid admitted to being that child, running away from the adult world.
