A long term musician, Wolfwolf started his musical journey in front of a piano at the ripe young age of 3 years old.

With influences coming from 1980s groups like Chimere and Hot Streak mixed with more modern producers such as Onra, Dam-Funk, Oddissee and Machine Drum, his style of music can only be described as futuristic funk.
With the release of the Happy Heart Breaks LP (1st June 2011), Wolfwolf has stepped up his live performance to become one of the most lively and entertaining acts in the music industry today. His stage appearance is classy yet unforgettable with a custom-made leather mask and full dinner suit.
