M. Pokora is celebrating his 40th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter-dancer M. Pokora (Elle me contrôle, Pas sans toi, À nos actes manqués, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 40th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

M. Pokora, a cultural icon

Born Matthieu Tota in Strasbourg on September 26, 1985, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. M. Pokora's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Matthieu hasn't done.

Happy Birthday, Matthieu, you're the best!
