Gotye

Wouter André 'Wally' De Backer, known professionally as Gotye, is an Australian multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter born in Belgium and raised in Melbourne. He first gained recognition in the indie scene with his 2006 album Like Drawing Blood, which topped the Australian charts. International breakthrough came with 2011's Making Mirrors and its global hit single 'Somebody That I Used to Know', featuring Kimbra. Gotye's sound blends indie pop, alternative, and art pop with eclectic sampling and live instrumentation. He has collaborated with artists including The Basics and has released music under his own independent label Eleven: A Music Company. Gotye largely stepped back from the spotlight after his major success but remains active in occasional projects and remixes.
