GOTYE: SINGER/SONGWRITER

Gotye (pronounced 'gore-ti-yeah') released their 3rd studio album in the US. August 19, 2011.


MAKING MIRRORS, The Alternative, Indie/Experimental Rock band comes to us from Australia.

Front man, Wally De Back, aka. Wouter (Walter) De Backer, was born in Belgium but moved to Australia at a young age. The multi-instrumentalist brings with him a fresh sound, blending his soothing vocals, spelling binding base, and haunting drums to create a sound appealing to a wide range audience. He is the modern day ‘Sting’, and sometimes a little 'George Michael'. See for yourself the innovative Gotye as you check out a couple of his videos that show his creativity and musical ability. His music is not the electronic dance craze, it is music electronically enhanced.

On YouTube from the album DRAWING BLOOD (2006) “Hearts A Mess”

In 2007 DeBacker won the ARIA award for best Male artist, and in 2006 he won the  AIR ‘Most Outstanding New Independent Artist’

DeBack is a talented young artist on a roll, who could easily become an international pop star, performing all over the world as his music has mass appeal. No doubt we will be hearing more of Gotye.

Be sure to go to his website to see how he recorded the current album in his barn on his parent’s property in Melbourne Australia.
