Leclercq was featured several times on Pete Tong's radio show '15 Minutes of Fame' on BBC Radio 1. During the show he also uses Novations SL MKII, FL Studio and Ableton Live in addition to his launch pads. Leclercq had his first live appearance in April 2011 in Paris, where he appeared as a support act for Yelle. The video gained popularity very quickly and reached over 7 million views within a few months (as of January 2019: over 48 million).

In this mash-up he used 39 songs that he mixed together with a Novation Launchpad.

He gained international fame through a video about his mash-up Pop Culture, which he uploaded to YouTube in July 2011. Later the genre changed and the name was changed to Madeon.Īfter Leclercq had won a competition in 2010 in which he remixed 'The Island' by Pendulum, he began to remix other tracks by artists in the electronic genre in the following years. Both productions belong to the electronic genre Hands up. The first official releases under this name were a remix for the song 'Wake Up' by Sun Kidz in 2008 and the in-house production 'Still Loving You'. Leclercq began composing music at the age of 11 - at that time still under the name DJ Deamon, an anagram of today's stage name Madeon.
