Gotye | Where Are They Now? | Why He Regrets His Fame?

How does it feel to be the creator of one of the biggest songs ever made? Well, don’t expect Wouter De Backer to tell you. The man is as humble as they come. Over ten years ago, this Belgian-Australian singer and songwriter became world-famous as Gotye after conquering the radio waves with his ubiquitous hit, “Somebody That I Used to Know”. And while the song was celebrated as an absolute banger, there’s something of an irony in the way that Gotye abandoned the spotlight following his big moment. Of course, once fans fall in love with an artist, all they want is more, and to this point in time, Gotye has been hesitant to give them that. But here’s the thing, while he might not have been making more music under his solo moniker, the man has remained prolific as a member of his long-running band The Basics. Think you know where he got his moniker? Then leave your answer down below! The rest of you, join us on our latest episode of Where Are They Now!
