Philippe Billeaudeaux was born into a Cajun French family in Lafayette, Louisiana. In his youth, he was part of the first class of French Immersion in Lafayette Parish, heavily exposed to local culture through festivals and events in his hometown, the bayous of Lower St. Martin Parish, and French-speaking family members from the prairies of St. Landry Parish. In early adulthood, he joined Feufollet, the progressive Cajun music group, earning a Grammy nomination for his work on their album "En Couleurs." He also performed with other French music bands, notably Cedric Watson et Bijou Créole and Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys. His stop motion animations have been seen on ESPN’s True South, at exhibits at the Acadiana Center for the Arts, and for projects with the Center for Louisiana Studies and Festival Internationale de Louisiane. Currently, he devotes his time to creating "Boudini et Ses Amis" with co-creator Marshall Woodworth, serving as musical director as well as co-animator, co-illustrator, and co-writer.
