In a recent interview with GQ (UK), Madeon sat down with the magazine discussing his wardrobe, where he came from and more. Here the 19 year old DJ says the reason he came up with his name “Madeon” was because “there was this trend at the time in France to have really dramatic names – like Justice – nouns and words that had a lot of impact, but which were quite impractical in an online sense and also maybe too pompous. Madeon was something more timeless.”
When GQ asked if Madeon always wears a blazer, Madeon replied “Always. I want to be like a TV show character that dresses the same every day so they are instantly recognisable.”
GQ then goes on to ask how growing up in Nantes, France has been where Madeon said “It's a really interesting city. I'm not huge on Paris. Nantes is very culturally-oriented. We have a project in Nantes, Les Machines de l'île, that creates these huge mechanical elephants that march through the city. It's really cool.”
