Mini bio

How it started.

Growing up in Albert, Miguel Mattioli filmed early videos on a phone in their bedroom. In 2015, an older brother helped launch the YouTube channel and taught them to edit. Michou built an audience around Clash Royale before Fortnite became the breakthrough.

Friends at the centre.

Gaming also brought Michou together with Inoxtag and the Team Croûton. In a 2021 interview, Michou recalled that the group’s name began as a joke during a livestream with Inoxtag. That shared sense of play carries into videos built around friends, competition and real-life versions of games.

Trying new stages.

In 2020, Michou released the seven-track EP My Life, including Dans le club and the family tribute Fier. A place in the 2021 Danse avec les stars final with Elsa Bois led to another project: creating and hosting Danse avec les stars d’Internet in 2024, with its final shown on TF1.

From the screen to the cinema.

Terminal brought Michou’s interest in battle royale games into a four-episode production with fellow creators in 2025. Before its YouTube release, the first episode screened in cinemas on 5 and 6 September. Distributor mk2 reported 40,000 admissions. In 2026, Michou joined M6’s World Cup coverage and the chase show Wanted.

Trivia

  1. Michou says a mountain bike won in a raffle helped fund the first gaming setup: they sold it and saved the money.
  2. Team Croûton’s name grew out of the old Michoucroute nickname and a livestream joke with Inoxtag about forming a professional gaming team.
  3. At school, Michou chose a cinema and audiovisual option and could imagine working as a camera operator or editor.
