A: For them, not to start from scratch. For me, to do the maximum to reach their goal.

A: What is your goal for this song?

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: A flint stone for fire. An axe to create my habitat. A fishing rod. A solar powered satellite phone, to be able to hear my relatives from time to time. A Michael Jackson 'Thriller' vinyl in case I manage to build a rudimentary system to play it.

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I've been in music since I was young. I produced in the beginning of the albums with very known rapper in the world of the French Rap.
