In 1997,
Matthieu Chedid, better known by his stage name
-M-, released his first solo album. An impressive debut effort,
Le Baptême features the funky dancefloor hit "Matchistador." Coinciding with the release of the album,
-M- created the distinctive horned hairdo that would brand him almost as much as his sound. A true personality on the French rock scene,
-M- got a whole country dancing with the release of
Le Baptême. ~ Celeste Rhoads
