1. Thank you very much for your time! Before we introduce your new release to our readers – what kind of drink would you recommend to zip on while they listen to your new music?
I’m French so, on these summer days, I’m always tempted to say „a glass of rosé“, but I live in Belgium, so I think beer is hard to avoid. Anyway, something fresh and slightly alcoholic, not too strong, not too sweet. Something balanced, like my music I hope.
2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!
I just released my debut EP „Prologue“. 6 songs, including 3 singles for which I made music videos: Falling Softly, My Video Game and Beautiful Lie. For tour dates, I’m touring this summer in Belgium, the country where I live, but I’m planning to start concerts in France and the UK this fall.
3. We live in times of many conspiracy theories. Which, harmless, theory would you wish were true? (For example Dinos living inside Earth or E.T. living in a home in California)
„Climate change is fake“? It’s clearly not a harmless theory, but honestly we all wish it was true, don’t we?
4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?
Retro-futurism. Shiny clothes, white leather. It has to glow.
5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?
My songs are mostly linked with escape and imagination. Escape from your reality (Beautiful Lie). Escape from the infinite loop of your everyday life (My Video Game), escape in empty places, through space and time (Falling Softly), in an artificial projected world (Plastic Life)…etc. I try to describe an imaginary world and an imaginary time, a sort of „lost future“. The future like it could have been but never will.
6. Beside music, do you have any special talents?
I’m also a 3D artist. That’s why I design all my music videos. This is an important part of my process and of the concept I try to present.
7. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!
– dreamer
– nostalgic
– multi-facetted (visual and musical artist)
– millennial
– self-taught and DIY enthusiast.
8. How did you learn to sing/ to write/ to play??
I learned mostly by myself at first. I got my first little keyboard when I was 7. I learned by doing, in several bands from the age of 14 until now. I also spent a few years in a good choir, improving my vocal skills, but also my knowledge in harmony, classical music…
9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls
What are the weird things you do and that help you as an artist?
I talk to myself a lot, out loud, including in the street.There are clearly several people in my head, and they have long conversations:-)
Also I have synesthesia, for every sound I see a color. That means every song or word is a picture.
