What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music is the solution, for me, to exprim what word can't do. Something in the air I can't explain. And often a thing who is a real door for dreaming.

What is your music dream?

Music dream is everything in life, for quotidian, but also for leaving the reality, without drugs. But maybe music is a kind of drug. Dream with music about travellin around the world, meet people every where and communicate easily with emotion, by the music... Dream to work in harmony with other musicians... Dream to give another dimension for a better life.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

I will start to eradicate jalousy and avidity.

"Le Bal Des Lazes" by Michel Polnareff. I believe in his words, and believe that "tomorrow morning it will be dead" ! What courage this man !!!

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

In the beginning, it was The Beatles, then The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The Who, The Doors... and a little after Neil Young, then Brian Eno, Talking Heads... a too long list to give every name. I am open for a lot of style of music.

What inspires you to make music?

Every kind of things. The state of the world, the relation between people, a good instrument, and the hapiness to create, because when you have to do it, it's impossible to know exactly what will be the result. Sometimes, it's magic.

A little afraid before, and less in the beginning, after, before it's finish : pleasure !

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

To be able to create a real personnal langage with his music, and do this music easily acceptable. This expresion doesn't mean that his music must be commercial. It's not the subject. The music must be emotional.
