His first album “Le Fou”, was inspired by his favorite film “Pierrot Le Fou” from Jean Luc Godard and from a Shakespeare quote “The fool is often the wisest person in the room.” - as some of things are contradictory.

He tends to use black & white on his covers and his gram feed, but what’s the true meaning behind that?
