Learn Music Opportunity Own Thoughts

More by Jain

I quietly work with my computer on the tour bus, and then I wait to make my more natural rhythms when I get home.

We shouldn't be scared of love.

What I want to tell people is that you can mix the culture a little bit and it's not always appropriation.

Sometimes people stop me on the street and they say 'when are you going to make the next 'Zanaka' and it's what I really didn't want to do.

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.

I want to have Congolese influences but also influences from Dubai and Abu Dhabi and France. To mix everything up.

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

I realised that I really liked to be on stage, and that I wanted to pursue it.

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 write about what makes me sad, and then when I write, I hear myself. It's like therapy, where I write something sad and then I make it happier or hopeful.

When I was little, I was listening to the Beatles, Bob Marley, Janis Joplin, and stuff. I had a big soul music culture, and not so much a French one.

It's really important because it's how you present yourself to people, and for me it's an act of respect, you know? To get dressed for the people who came to the show.
