People Sometimes Try Way Work Wrong way

For me to have the opportunity to learn the darbuka and the tabla in Dubai, it created my own thoughts for music.

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.
