1.) What elements and/or characteristics made you say to yourself that you wanted to do music for a living? Who are your influences/heroes/role models?
I don’t make music to please people.
When I compose I am never in the same emotional state of mind. So once in a while it can be totally different.
This is why music allows me to express an emotion at a given time.
2.) If you could compare yourself to an already established artist, who would that be and why? If you don’t like to compare yourself, then music-wise, what separates you from other musicians?
I have a lot of influences, at the base I listened to rock, pop, and then it was only towards my 16 years that I opened myself to electro.
I also don’t pretend to be so different from other artists who produce their music.
I’m just trying to please myself by making music that I like.
3.) Everyone in life goes through adversity of some sort. Is there anything in your life that has any influence on the kind of songs you write? What is the most difficult thing you’ve had to endure on your path to becoming a musician?
May be the difficulty to stand out from others.
At the time we live, we are constantly drowned in the crowd.
4.) How do you prepare yourself to write certain songs? What is your song-writing and recording process?
I do not have a specific way to put myself in condition. When I want to make music, I do it.
Choosing my favorite track among my creations is not easy, to tell the truth, I love them all ahaha.
But I had to quote one that stands out from the others I would say that “the leprechaun’s dance” is the one that allowed me to get to where I am today.
5.) Unfortunately the music industry is full of talented individuals who just don’t get any recognition for their talent and/or hard work. What do you plan to do to make sure you stand out and get noticed? Would you rather be on a major label or would you rather stay independent? Why or why not? In regards to the music industry itself, do you think that the traditional music industry model as we know it is dead?
I let the opportunities come to me, we’ll see anyway.
6.) Are you able to make a living with your music? If so, how were you able to attain a career doing what you love? If not, what do you do in order to fund your music career? What advice would give to someone who’s interested in pursuing a career in music?
Yes, I do live with an APc40 to which I sometimes add an electronic djembe. The project has been around for a little over 2 years and I have already had the opportunity to play in many places in France, Switzerland and Belgium.
7.) How do you think the internet and social media affected the music industry and how musicians are able to market themselves? Social media is obviously an extremely important element in today’s world, especially when it comes to business, branding, marketing, etc. With that being said, do you think an artist will be able to survive in today’s music industry if they’re not social media savvy?
I am a little regret to have to spend almost as much time doing advertising as doing music but alas, we have no choice if we want to be known. It’s part of the game.
8.) Artists who try to make music for the general public and make more money are usually seen as “sell-outs.” Do you see it that way and if so, what do you plan to do to make sure your music stays true to your brand and make a good living at the same time without having to “sell out”?
I think commercial or not is not important. As long as it makes us happy, whether it is “mainstream” or not does not matter.
Personally I hope to be able to live music forever but I do not make music for this purpose, if it pleases so much the better if not, too bad.
9.) Professionally, where do you see yourself 5 years from now?
I don’t know, really.
