Hugo Leclercq (born May 30, 1994), known by his stage name Madeon, is a self-described "electro-pop-house-whatever" producer from Nantes, France.
Leclercq started composing music at the age of 11, and adopted a nu-disco style under the name "Madeon" in 2010. In the fall of that year, at the age of just 16, he gained popularity for his award-winning remix of The Island by Pendulum which was praised by the likes of Skrillex and Pendulum front-man Rob Swire.
In 2011, he created a remix for Yelle's "Que veux-tu", and then went on to remix deadmau5's Raise Your Weapon which was praised by deadmau5 himself on Facebook and other social utilities. In the summer of 2011, a
YouTube video of his live mashup "Pop Culture" went viral, which combines 39 pop hits into one song. As of November 2012, it has approximately fifteen million hits.
Leclercq has been featured on 15 Minutes of Fame, a segment of Pete Tong's radio show on BBC Radio 1. Also on the 27th of January 2012 he played a 20 minute set as part of a show organised by Pete Tong to showcase up and coming stars in Electronic music. He included some of his own songs such as Pop Culture and Icarus, as well as merging songs together; These ranged from Shuriken alongside Que Veux Tu and DJ, to M83's Midnight City being played on top of a Madeon edit of Blitz by Digitalism.
Leclercq has cited The Beatles and Daft Punk as his greatest musical influences. He is also known to use Novation's Launchpad for his live performances, and FL Studio as his music production program of choice.
A debut EP was scheduled to be released in 2012, but then cancelled in favour of multiple singles, the first of which – Icarus – is planned to be released in February 2012.
Mid 2012 Madeon teamed up with one of EDM’s favorite voices, Ellie Goulding, to produce Stay Awake. The track was meant for Ellie’s Halcyon album, but wasn’t delivered in time. It made a standalone release in March 2013.
It wasn't until 2015 that Madeon's debut album, Adventure, was released by Columbia. The album reached number one on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Albums chart and featured hit singles such as Pay No Mind and Nonsense. Alongside the album's release were two headlining tours.
2016 gave way to a collaboration with artist Porter Robinson to create the animated single Shelter. The song has gained over thirty-five million views as of September 2018 and was played live alongside many others of the artist's previous tracks during the Shelter Live tour.

Madeon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't blame me if I don't come through
I spent a lifetime on this
But I would give it up for you
Because I know what you do out of passion
But it only makes it harder for me
And I know that you're scared by the notion
Fall in the hands of a greater unknown
Let me be there
And tell me if you need time to prepare
All we'll demand is the world
Because I know what you do out of passion
But it only makes it harder for me
And I know that you're scared by the notion
We'll become who we're meant to be
Oh what we meant to be
Oh what we meant to be
Oh what we meant to be
Oh what we meant to be
We'll become who we're meant to be
We'll become who we're meant because I know
We'll become who we're meant to be
We'll become who we're meant because I know
We'll become who we're meant to be
The lyrics of Madeon's song "Beings" depict a sense of uncertainty and fear that arises from the idea of becoming who we are meant to be. The singer acknowledges that there will be times that he will miss and that he might not always come through, but he is willing to give up everything he has worked for in order to be with the person he loves. The singer seems to be giving reassurance to his loved one, telling her that he is there for her in the face of the unknown future.
The chorus of the song is particularly interesting, as it talks about falling into the hands of a greater unknown, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for fate or destiny. The singer asks to be there for his loved one and to be told if she needs time to prepare. The lyrics suggest that no matter what happens, all they will demand is the world. The second verse of the song repeats the same sentiments, acknowledging that the passion that drives his loved one can sometimes make things harder for him and that the notion of becoming who they are meant to be can be scary.
Overall, "Beings" is an uplifting song that encourages listeners to embrace the unknown and trust in their destiny. The lyrics are relatable and inspiring, and the chorus is particularly impactful.

These will be times that I won't miss
Don't blame me if I don't come through

Thought I would give it all to you
Cause I know what you do is out of passion

On the grave you're under
Let me be there
And tell me if you need time to prepare
All will amount his world
Cause I know what you do is out of passion
But it only makes it harder for me
And I know that you’re scared of the notion
