Hularudagin

French artist Rudan "Rudy" Niddu was born in Aix-en-Provence where he began making music with pots and pans and an electric guitar from his grandfather, famed French musician Rudagin "Francois" Hula. As Rudy grew to fame he wanted to honor the person who inspired him to create music and thus, Hularudagin was born since he knew international audiences would struggle with the pronunciation of his name.

In a recent interview with the French version of SPIN magazine, Rudy pontificated on his musical journey: "We are all here to eat good chocolate, play guitar, and tell our friends when they have something stuck in their teeth. It drives me absolutely mad when you only discover that you have been talking to a room full of people for half an hour, and you have a piece of lettuce stuck between your teeth. Why did my friend not tell me? Was he embarrassed for me? He could have simply said: "Hey, Rudy, man, you have some lettuce in your teeth tant pis!" But no, he let me ask for a second helping of dessert with a salad in my teeth. I was so embarrassed for him, for me, and for the poor people who had to look at that lettuce in my teeth. If you are reading this, don't be shy, tell your friend if they have something stuck in their teeth!"

Rudy is also obsessed with math and considers himself a nerd. "Look, nothing makes sense in this crazy world non? The only thing that has and ever will make sense to me is mathematics."
