In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest musical memories was when I was around 6, we went to a waterfall in my hometown with my mom and my sister, we were there quite early so it was just us and the nature, and we started singing out loud reggae songs all together.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, Welcome to Jamrock Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, Nas, Distant Relatives (Bonus Track Version) Fugees, The Score (Expanded Edition) These three albums were the ones that described how I've built up my overall music appreciation from the very first age. My mom was listening to reggae/dancehall, Neo-soul mainly so these albums perfectly illustrate these inspirations.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Marée basse” I chose this song because it was the first one in which I opened up quite a lot on some personal pains, the first one that I was quite happy about as well in terms of full completion, finding my musical touch mixed with great writing and a chorus.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I would say my first little stage. I was fortunate enough to be approached by an organiser on instagram. He invited me to sing in front of a couple dozens of people at his party, alongside with other artists.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I feel like if you're an artist as I describe it, there's always something "left". The inspiration can come and go but it will always be there, underneath, waiting to be utilised for the sake of music, the sake of expression, and emancipation.
