Biography

An animated music video for "Papa Pingouin" was produced, featuring a penguin dad and his son. This song was very successful in France, where it topped the singles chart for three weeks and eventually remained on the chart for 27 weeks. In February 2007, the German version of "Papa Pinguoin" climbed to 6th place in the German hit parade, partly due to the huge success of the video clip broadcast on RTL. The French version was sung by Heidi, while the German version was sung by Sara and Kerstin.

In June 2006, Pigloo released a second single, "Le ragga des pingouins", then "Ça plane pour moi (Le twist)" in September 2006, "Moi, j'aime skier!" (based on the melody of "Y.M.C.A.") in December 2006, and "Bizoo d'eskimo" in July 2007. All these singles were top 20 hits in France. His first album, La Banquise, was released in July 2006.
