M. Pokora是1985年生人，當初在2003年參加法國唱歌比賽的真人選秀節目勝出，并與另兩位選手組成了少男偶像組合Linkup，主要演唱R'N'B曲風的歌曲。本專輯由文國音樂頻道整理上傳，珍惜別人勞動成果，轉載請注明出處。作為組合發行的專輯當時在法國也取得了不錯的成績，登上了排行榜第一名的位置。但是組合不久就解散了，M. Pokora單飛發展。 在法語里“M.”和英語里的“Mr.”是一個意思，但是可別把M. Pokora當作是Pokora先生，因為這里的“M.”是Matt的縮寫。關于他的名字還有一個小插曲，因為本來他就是以Matt Pokora的名字示人的，但是同時期還有一個男歌手叫Matt，名字的類似還引起了一場糾風。 Like Justin Timberlake before him, France's M. Pokora rehabilitated his boy-band pinup image by channeling the pop and R&B influences of his youth to create a slickly modern interpretation of blue-eyed soul. Born Matthieu Totta in Strasbourg on September 26, 1985, he first earned attention as a member of the rap group Mic Unity, which in fall 2003 appeared on the blockbuster television showcase Popstars. Totta was such a crowd favorite that Popstars' producers installed him in a spinoff boy band called Linkup. The trio's debut single, "Mon étoile," topped the French charts, but the follow-up, "Un Seconde d'éternité," flopped and when their debut LP, Notre étoile, met a similarly grim fate, the show pulled the plug. Totta soon resurfaced as Matt Pokora, enjoying newfound creative and commercial success by teaming with hip-hop producers Kore & Skalp to record his self-titled 2005 debut, a major hit buoyed by the singles "Showbiz" and "Elle Me Contr?le." In the wake of the disc's success, French singer Matt slapped Pokora with a lawsuit, claiming the similarities between their names and music was the source of marketplace confusion. As a result, 2006's Bionix-produced Player arrived credited to M. Pokora.
