In the late 2010’s, Lubalin reached the highest summits of TikTok fame with his viral internet drama videos: 260 million views, 36 million likes and 3.4 million subscribers around the world. That huge web success led him to be invited on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and The Kelly Clarkson Show, in the U.S. All US magazines and music or entertainement press wrote or talked about him – Rolling Stone, BuzzFeed, The Los Angeles Times, Vulture, Mashable, Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, not to name commercial partnerships and also an important production and songwriting involvement with Charlotte Cardin’s recent recording work – double JUNO Award-winning 2023 album, 99 Nights.

After almost 6 years of web famee and ghost composing, Lubalin finally came on stage for a first time during the Marathon M for Montreal Festival, after which he launches a first complete album: haha, no worries. On this new release (December 6th) he explores the nature of human communication we have those days and does it with a “wry sense of humour and a gleeful disregard for convention”. A few days afterhis first live show, Lubalin met Alain Brunet for PAN M 360, here his this video interview.
