The challenge of sudden successĪlthough the creative mastermind directed music videos for popular artists like Katy Perry, Taylor Swift or Lana Del Rey before his breakthrough recod 2013, no one really payed great attention to him until the release of his debut album. This special challenge is exactly what the French artist Yoann Lemoine alias Woodkid experienced after releasing his debut record The Golden Age in 2013. It is a challenge for artists to cope with sudden success as they are thrown into the cold water and need to adapt themselves to this new situation in which people treat them differently as before. Sometimes artists do not get popular at all, sometimes they are able to build their audience slowly during many years and sometimes the great success happens overnight without letting the artist any minute to take a breath.Īlthough it feels like all your dreams come true when you think about this sudden, international popularity, there are – as with almost everything – downsides to it which people tend to not see in the first place.

It is the greatest wish of every artist on this planet to be appreciated by having success with their own art.
