Pierre de Maere, the new revelation from Belgium, continues to rise. Hostilities are launched in 2022 with the release of his first EP “Regrets”. Carried by dazzling media and popular coverage, the success of his gold single “Un jour je marierai un ange”, scenes noticed in France and Belgium, Pierre de Maere never ceases to surprise us and meet the challenges. Only one year after a first sold-out Parisian concert at La Cigale in May 2022, a second at the Trianon in November 2022, the artist now offers himself the legendary Olympia hall for an exceptional concert on May 12, 2023. The occasion to discover his first album “Look at me” which will be released on January 27. He is already building his life as a work, an artist sublimated by art, deeply free, irradiated by instinct, insolently lucid despite barely reaching his twenties. Astride music, fashion, photography. The Pierre de Maere style (pronounced mare) is a reflection of the sartorial audacity of the young Belgian: flamboyant, iridescent, mutant. He cultivates his garden and draws his inner world, dares without a net stylistic telescoping while taking care never to stray from the field of possibilities offered by pop culture. A mouth of innocent beauty, androgynous and piercing. Tall, slender silhouette, bowl cut, expressive body language. Modern dandy, esthete with chic extravagance, incarnation of the “twink” camouflaged behind luxurious finery. Already we guess an identity that can constantly shape and renew itself according to desires. Pierre de Maere spent the first half of his life in Brussels, before his parents decided to move to a farm in Walhain, a small town in central Belgium. Boredom, a lot, forcing him to stimulate his creativity. Ears drunk on mainstream songs, from the first compositions at the age of twelve. Neither singing lessons nor music theory, only a few drum lessons. Self-taught, he absorbs knowledge and information with abnormal speed, jumps from one passion to another in a burst of total commitment. Adolescence is marked by a photographic frenzy linked to fashion. He also quickly passed through the Beaux-Arts in Antwerp, a teaching he considered too conceptual. He is convinced that his destiny must be combined with stature and audacity. When he replaces music at the center of his interests a year and a half ago, this educated child of disorder does not however plan on the comet. Pierre de Maere belongs to this generation that does not bother with references or classifications. It’s a boy who reads the complete Scrooge by the Fireside, Pink Floyd in the background. Also fascinated by Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Lady Gaga. Understand by this that he likes singular personalities. He composes on the piano and on the computer as one imagines a cocktail by trying combinations, specifying the dosages, refining the associations. Writing sows beacons, plays on multiple readings, defies codes. Crazy and moving charm of the pieces, a bit as if Stromae was hugging Yelle, Rufus Wainwright and eighties pop.
