Oscar and the Wolf, under his real name Max Colombie, has often referred to his music as “Disney music for adults.” Since his 2014 debut with “Entity,” Max has defied genre boundaries, seamlessly blending pop, R&B, EDM, and alternative elements into a unique and celebrated sound. His live performances are magnetic, combining striking visuals with raw, unfiltered emotion. Max’s ability to explore both melancholy and euphoria has been a constant throughout his career, from the folk and dream pop of his debut album to the club-infused tracks of “Infinity” (2017) and the sun-soaked synth-pop of “The Shimmer” (2022).
With a dedicated following and a presence at major festivals, including Pukkelpop and Tomorrowland, Max’s influence extends beyond music, as he has crafted soundtracks for renowned fashion designer Dries Van Noten. In 2023, Oscar and the Wolf made a triumphant return, with their single “Warrior” chosen as the official song for the Belgian National team during the World Cup, delving into Max’s personal journey to confront his deepest anxieties.
