INTERVIEW

What inspired you to start making music, and who are your biggest influences?
​
I've always been surrounded by music growing up.  I was drawn to the way music could tell stories and evoke emotions. But what truly inspired me to start creating music myself was when I first learned to play the guitar. I realized that I could express myself in ways words alone couldn't capture.
I attended a live concert and seeing the energy and connection between the artists and the crowd made me want to be part of that experience."
What inspired me were the great artists like Michael Jackson, George Michael who created very good pop funk music and rocked my childhood

​

What themes or messages do you aim to convey through your music?
​
I wanted to convey messages of joy, happiness, love, dream, travel and peace in this cruel world of war and violence.
the ways we communicate and relate to each other. Music has an incredible power to unite people, so I'd want my songs to emphasize our shared experiences and collective humanity.
Life is full of challenges, but I believe there's strength in how we rise, adapt, and grow. Whether it's overcoming personal obstacles or facing societal issues, I'd want my music to inspire perseverance and hope.

​

How has your music evolved since you first started?
​
Early music was very much reliant on acoustic instruments, whether it was variety orchestras or classical groups.

But with the advent of technology, especially in the 20th century, music production was revolutionized. Electric instruments, synthesizers, and later, digital production software allowed musicians to create sounds that were previously unimaginable. The invention of the drum machine, the sampler, and MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) helped shape genres like electronic, pop and electro funk.

​

What has been your most memorable performance experience so far ?
​
The most memorable performance I can remember so far was in 2013. I sang in front of 10 000 people in a big place in Lyon and it was great. I sang covers of great artists George Michael, Freddy Mercury, Michael Jackson and a medley of Kool and the Gang.

​

How do you handle creative blocks or periods of low inspiration?
​
Creative blocks can be really frustrating, but they’re also a natural part of the creative process.
Sometimes, taking a break from your primary project can help reset your mind. Try something completely different, like sketching, writing prompts, or even doing something physical, like going for a walk. Shifting gears can often spark new ideas.
While it sounds counterintuitive, sometimes the best way to overcome a block is to sit down and work anyway, even if you don't feel inspired. Sticking to a creative routine can help build momentum. You might not create something groundbreaking, but consistency can help you get out of the rut.
A change of scenery can stimulate creativity. Whether it's reorganizing your workspace or stepping outside, new surroundings can give you a fresh perspective and inspire new ideas.
Reading books, watching movies, or listening to music that you love (or even exploring new genres) can help spark new ideas.

​

How do you handle performance anxiety before a live show ?
​
to manage the anxiety before going on stage, I relax as much as possible I empty my head and I give the best of myself
Nothing beats being well-prepared. The more you rehearse and familiarize yourself with the material, the more confident you'll feel when you step onto the stage. Knowing that you’ve done the work helps reduce the fear of the unknown.
Deep breathing can help calm your nervous system.  Mindfulness meditation, even for just a few minutes before the show, can help you stay present and not get lost in anxious thoughts.

​

How do you stay motivated to practice and improve your skills?
​
I stay motivated for my audience I want them to recognize themselves while listening to my songs.
look for people who inspire you whether through books, podcasts, or videos.

​

How do you incorporate your personal experiences into your music?
​
I incorporate it in my songs through what I experienced during all these years, the beautiful or bad things the love period, breakup or even anxiety

​

How do you handle criticism and feedback on your music, both positive and negative?
​
There is no good and no bad criticism in general but criticism makes progress

If you could change one thing about the music industry, what would it be and why?
​
Record companies and major radio stations do not give the chance to new talent, because it is a closed environment so difficult to enter, today you can create your own music alone without the help of a major and make yourself known through social networks, web radio stations and magazines like you that give new talents a chance to express themselves

​

What sacrifices have you had to make in your personal life to pursue your music career?

 

I devote a lot of time and energy to my passion, music, while sacrificing my social and family life.
