Musician

I'm from a little town from the south tip of France, to be able to play in Coachella and meet other artists from all over the world and to connect with people that I love from my hometown is something amazing.

My music was about travelling a lot and connecting with other people, and English is the voice of travelling.

Making music you can dance to is very important to me.

My mother is half-French, half-Malagasy, so I've been listening to African music, like Malian and Congolese music, since I was a child.

I'm from the Southwest, and in the Southwest of France, you're not supposed to love Paris.

I've been to India, Jordan, South Africa, Namibia, Senegal, Australia, Madagascar, Oman, The States, and a lot of countries in Europe, just to visit... I wanted to make music to connect all of these influences, and make a multicultural music with these experiences.

I started to write my songs when I was 15 and living in the Congo.

My favourite place was in The Congo. It's where I began to write songs and build myself as an adult.

You may hear from my fabulous accent that I'm French!

I grew up in a family where, when we listened to music everybody would dance, so for me that's a very natural thing to do.

I just wanna write about what I am living as a citizen. That's all.

Sometimes you meet people that try to explain to you your work, and how to write a song and how to sing it, and they explain that you are doing it the wrong way. And yeah, it's always super frustrating.

I've never been inspired by a politician in France, and I think a lot of my own generation think that way.

Since I was a child, I was yearning to learn about percussion because that's what I loved.

Well, the thing is I always listened to American music way more than French music.

The thing is: Yes, I'm white and yes, I love African music, and I can't do anything about it.

Well, the thing is I always listened to American music way more than French music.

At 16 I was living in the Congo, and, you know, it's your teenage time. I really wanted to find a way to express myself, so I started to write songs in the Congo, and I think that's why my music is quite open, with a lot of different influences.

When I travel I always try to see shows from a local group, and with the Internet it's important to have a global vision of music.

Music is open-minded and has always travelled, every country takes something from another, and that's what makes the richness of music.
