M. Pokora是1985年生人，当初在2003年参加法国唱歌比赛的真人选秀节目胜出，并与另两位选手组成了少男偶像组合Linkup，主要演唱R'N'B曲风的歌曲。本专辑由文国音乐频道整理上传，珍惜别人劳动成果，转载请注明出处。作为组合发行的专辑当时在法国也取得了不错的成绩，登上了排行榜第一名的位置。但是组合不久就解散了，M. Pokora单飞发展。 在法语里“M.”和英语里的“Mr.”是一个意思，但是可别把M. Pokora当作是Pokora先生，因为这里的“M.”是Matt的缩写。关于他的名字还有一个小插曲，因为本来他就是以Matt Pokora的名字示人的，但是同时期还有一个男歌手叫Matt，名字的类似还引起了一场纠风。 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 Contrôle." 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.
