The Doug

The cheeky cry of a child of our time. As beautiful as it is desperate, as violent as it is tender, as dark as it is bright, as selfish as it is sharing. The intimate work of a young man of 22, who found his pseudonym on the benches of a secondary school in his home town of Clermont-Ferrand: “The English teacher wanted us to have English first names in class. My brother knew a Scotsman called Douglas. It didn’t seem common to me, so I adopted it”. Who mutates in high school into The Doug, when it comes to finding an alias to carry his rap project.
