Adèle Castillon du Perron (; born 24 October 2001) is a French singer and actress. She was the singer in the French pop duo Videoclub from 2018 until 2021. As an actress, she appeared in the French comedy film Sous le même toit (2017), and the French thriller School's Out (2018).
Life and career Early life Castillon was born in Angers, in Pays de la Loire, on 24 October 2001. She has two siblings. As a child, Castillon started making YouTube videos and had theatre training, though she did not consider that these two correlated with each other and did not intend to use YouTube for her career prospects. For the Dissemblances media, she made her first interview of the French actress Léa Seydoux. At the age of 15, with some friends, she interviewed the Dalai Lama in Dharamshala, India.
In 2017, she played Violette Hazan in the movie Sous le même toit directed by Dominique Farrugia.
In 2018, she played Clara in School's Out directed by Sébastien Marnier.
Group Videoclub In 2018, Castillon met Matthieu Reynaud and formed Videoclub, over their shared love of 80s nostalgia. Their channel had amassed over 20,000 subscribers before posting anything, to the suspicion of YouTube. Due to Castillon's popularity on the site, their music quickly went viral there, as well as on TikTok and Spotify.
In 2019, in Milan, Adèle Castillon laid all her cards on the table to sing Amour plastique. The English singer Anna Calvi invited the group Videoclub to open her concert at Circolo Magnolia during Unaltrofestival. At the end of the slideshow, starting with Anna Calvi, the four cardinal points were inscribed on Adèle Castillon's petite robe noire (Little Black Dress): The Moon, The Sun, The Stars, and The Soul. These framed the Three of Swords tarot card, which depicts three swords piercing a heart symbolizing the experience of heartbreak.
Back in Nantes, Castillon approached film director Sirine Mamoun to film her at the location where Amour plastique was shot by director Julie Reynaud.
On 31 March 2021, the group was dissolved when Castillon and Reynaud ended their relationship. In May 2021, before the release of their album Euphories, Videoclub announced the disbandment of the group and that they would each be pursuing solo projects.
Solo career
On 10 June 2022, after splitting from Videoclub, she released her first song Impala. She is currently signed to Columbia Records.
On 7 April 2023, she released her second single called Rêve (Dream), followed by the single Alabama on 16 June 2023. Her first solo album followed on 20 October 2023, named PRD: Pleasure Risk Dependency.
On 31 May 2024, Castillon released Ce Soir, which features rapper Gazo.
On 24 July 2024, in Seine-Saint-Denis, Adèle Castillon served as a torchbearer, relaying the flame for the 2024 Summer Olympics. On the eve of the opening ceremony, she and Gazo invited the audience at Parc Georges Valbon to a free concert in La Courneuve.
In 2025, Castillon released her second album Crèvecoeur (Heartbreaking). In the summer of 2025, Adèle Castillon delivered her first performance at the biggest French festival: the Vieilles Charrues. She also figured as the opening act of the festival in that same year.
Musical style and influences Castillon's musical style draws inspiration from that of Billie Eilish.
