I am a passionate and extremely sensitive person, the positive sides are that I am stimulated very quickly by the elements of life, but I am also very impatient, and when I start a song I want to finish it straight away”.
The melody in ‘By Myself’ is undeniably infectious, carrying listeners on a journey of euphoria. Could you elaborate on your approach to melody creation? How do you craft melodies that resonate with audiences on both a sonic and emotional level, and what emotions were you aiming to evoke specifically with this track?
“I don’t have a very specific method for working on my melodies. Sometimes I wake up with a tune playing on a loop in my head, sometimes I produce the instrumental first and then work on the top line. For “By Myself” my intention was really to be in total sincerity and to speak from the heart. “Don’t wanna be by myself, don’t wanna be alone” was truly a cry of despair rising deep within me at that time in my life. I needed this to come out!
“I grew up listening to artists such as Brandy, Aaliyah, and Destiny’s Childs. The harmonies presented by myself made me think of the R&B music of the 90s. This is the effect I have with Chris IDH, we have a real musical connection and, the same background of references so when he makes me listen to something it speaks directly to my soul and the melodies arrive on their own. We also have another song together which will be released in a few months”.
Looking toward the future, what are your aspirations as an artist? Are there specific milestones or projects on the horizon that you’re particularly excited about? How do you envision your music evolving, and what legacy do you hope to leave within the industry and beyond?
“I love challenges and my next goal is to create a Live set. Today I am in a hybrid format and during my performan- ces, I realise the impact on the crow when you do a live.
Furthermore, my first experiences on stage were with a live band and I admit that I miss this approach to music a little. I feel like I return to the source. (Laughing) In addition, when I discovered electronic music I wat- ched a lot of live sets on the YouTube channel “Le Cercle”.
“It’s part of one of my dreams one day to make a video with them so it motivates me twice more to go in the direction of life even if I know that it will require a lot of work. I don’t have a final “target” or ultimate goal in my career because I have the impression that when we plan a path, it closes the door to other possibilities that can be even more beautiful than what we imagined. I prefer to visualize plans and objectives for the next 2 years maximum, put the address in the GPS, and check the “done” box for each of the small steps taken”.
“The most important thing for me is to be constantly evolving. Whether professional or personal. So as long as I feel like I’m moving forward, all good. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a superstar, to be one of the legends in the music industry haha (that’s my Lio side) and then I quickly understood that I wanted to be on stage for another reason: sharing, offering a journey to the people that came to listen and explore”.
