Career

Max Colombie began his musical journey as Oscar and the Wolf in 2010, initially forming a band with members Ozan Bozdag, Claudio Arduini, and Jasper Bullynck.

His early EPs, Imagine Mountains (2010) and Summer Skin (2012) leaned toward indie folk. However, his 2013 single “Orange Sky” marked a shift to a more electronic sound, earning international attention and support slots for artists like Lou Reed.

His debut album, Entity (2014), co-produced with Leo Abrahams, was a critical and commercial success, featuring hits like “Princes” and “Strange Entity.” The album’s dream-pop and electro-pop fusion went double platinum in Belgium and won multiple Music Industry Awards (MIAs).  

Colombie’s self-taught production skills became a hallmark of his work as he took creative control of his music. His second album, Infinity (2017), featured a club-oriented sound, with tracks like “Breathing” and “Runaway,” further expanding his European fan base.

He performed at major festivals such as Pukkelpop, Rock Werchter, and Tomorrowland and collaborated with Dries Van Noten on a soundtrack for Paris Fashion Week in 2015.

In 2021, his third album, The Shimmer, topped the Belgian charts with its synth-pop vibrancy, followed by the 2022 EP Afterglow and the 2022 single “Warrior,” which served as the anthem for the Belgian Red Devils during the World Cup. His 2024 album Taste continued to push boundaries, blending introspective lyrics with polished production.  

Oscar and the Wolf remains a prominent figure in electro-pop, known for his ability to weave melancholy and euphoria into his music. His live performances, marked by striking visuals and raw emotion, have sold out venues like Sportpaleis in Antwerp and Paradiso in Amsterdam.

Colombie’s influence extends beyond music, with his fashion-forward image and artistic collaborations shaping his legacy as a cultural innovator in Belgium and beyond. His introspective approach, as seen in songs like “James” (dedicated to his late nephew’s son), underscores his personal and artistic depth.
