Early life
Gordon went to the École des Beaux-Arts.[2][3] Originally from Rennes,[2] he studied at the École Émile-Cohl in Lyon. His father is Taiwanese[2][3] and his stage name comes from the Scottish artist Douglas Gordon.[2] He notably studied cello and guitar.[4]
Career
Mifune began creating his first tracks under the pseudonym Morning Crash, when he began learning how to make computer-aided music.[5] His current stage name, Les Gordon, is a reference to Douglas Gordon, videographer and visual artist; "Les" is an English name that references British artists such as Four Tet, Gold Panda, Mount Kimbie and many others.[6]
Mifune has been an opening act for Stromae (Rencontres Trans Musicales of 2013), Madeon (Le Trianon) and Fauve[1][7] (eighteen representations [2]).
He composed Saisons (2014), Les cheveux longs (2015) and Atlas (2016),[7] along with a collaboration EP, Croquis n°1 (2015).[2] and signed to the French label Kitsuné[7] after leaving the label Allo Floride.[4]
He has a band, which is called Singapour (2015), where Gordon is a producer and his friend Roman Oswald writes lyrics.[5]
He is featured in several duos such as Mondrian with Roman Oswald[8] and Leska with Douchka.[9]
Nearly in 2018, Mifune was signed to French subdivision of Sony Music's record label Arista Records.
In the same year, he released his long-play album La. This album included song Flirting With June, that was used in Apple's September Event 2019 intro and advertisement Wonderful tools.[10][11]
