For a reason that’s beyond my reach, some musicians (usually those without any success), like to say that the real musicians are the ones that can play live with band and stuff…
The problem is that all these musicians end up really talking like pure integrists, like if music only belongs to those who can read a score. To me, this is bullshit, music is freedom and everyone should create and represent his universe how they see it…
I don’t see a reason why people creating their music on computers with plugins and virtual synths, a sound real specific with it’s own identity, should prove something to those who create music with drums, guitars & pianos… We talking about different disciplines and everyone should be able to co exist without some bad mouthing the others…
So go ahead, the digital revolution gives you the ability to express yourselves, find your sound, own your music. Guitar+voice or Fruity loops, only you can decide what is your universe…
This is what we call a jam session… Thierry Fanfan, 5 elements, Kaysha, Ali Angel, Jp, Pierre from Nomads, etc etc… We all went for a big jam session at Lakasa in Guadeloupe and it was wild…
This live thing is a great learning experience for me because I get to play with lots of talented musicians and I dig the fact that they appreciate my work enuff to invite me on stage. Bamboolaz have a dope sound and I’m thankful that they invite a begginer like me on their set…

Cet histoire de live est un super moment d’apprentissage pour moi, surtout que j’ai le plaisir de jouer avec des musiciens tres talentueux et je kiff le fait qu’ils apprecient mon travail assez pour m’inviter sur scene. Le groupe Bamboolaz ont un super son et je les remercie de d’avoir invit� un debutant comme moi sur leur set…
After our sweet performances in Martinique, some groups started inviting me to perform with them in their shows, something I gladly accepted. There I’m rehearsing with Bamboolaz, a group that mix caribbean flavors with metal rock sounds and they are really good. Just before me rehearsing was Tanya St Val, she sings so well, miles ahead of me…
In one word, super mega talent. These two guys just take your songs and make them sound like pretty good smelling roses… Just remember the names: Audrey Nodion & Laurent Tulle… Keys assassins…

En un mot, super mega talent. Ces deux mecs peuvent faire sonner ton son comme une belle rose qui sent bon… Rapellez vous les noms: Audrey Nodion & Laurent Tulle… Keys assassins…
This live band thing is not new to me as a rapper, but as a singer, this is totally like running into fire. Singing live is just anothr excercise and I hope I’ll be to rock the crod right without being too shy or off key…
Hopefuly, I’ve baught a new Macbook pro and a mbox2 pro with autotune 5 to have my voice processed live. So let’s see how it turns out…

Cette histoire de jouer live c’est rien de nouveau pour moi en tant que rappeur, mais en tant que chanteur c’est une autre histoire, alors j’espere pouvoir dechirer sans etre trop impressionn� ou chanter faux…
Mais bon, j’ai quand meme achet� un Mac book pro, une mbox avec autotune 5 pour avoir ma voix retouch�e en temps r�el, on verra bien cke ca donne…
Performing “One love” live on Contacto, one of the most watched show on SIC television. National tv in Portugal. Was so happy, I recieved a platinum plaque for “One love” on the compilation Kizomba. My son watched me live in Brussels and he was so proud. Ain’t it cool to make your child proud?
Sorry for the poor sound quality, but you have to see this… Only after a show in Portugal I know if a song is gonna be a worldwide hit or not, and “Question my heart” passed the test. This video was taken by Missdiogo, a fan in the crowd at my album launch in club Luanda, Lisbon. Just watch as I fall in the crowd 3 times and one girl faints at the end…
