Gotye
Biography
Wouter "Wally" De Backer (born 21 May 1980), also known professionally by his stage name Gotye, is a Belgian-Australian multi-instrumental musician and singer-songwriter. His voice has been compared to Sting, Phil Collins, and Peter Gabriel. He has released three studio albums independently and one album featuring remixes of tracks from his first two albums. He is one-third of Melbourne indie-pop trio The Basics, who have independently released three studio albums and numerous other titles since 2002. Gotye's 2011 single "Somebody That I Used to Know" hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making him the fifth Australian artist to do so and the second Belgian (after Soeur Sourire in 1963). He has won five ARIA Awards and received a nomination for an MTV EMA for Best Asia and Pacific Act.

Gotye is really good. I Like his recent album. his songs are very good.
Gotye....fantastic! Saw him for the first time on TV the other day in a triple j program. I'm an old lady, but he is the best performer I have seen for a long time!....and he is good looking young boy!
