Going back and forth between Western Arabic and African countries clearly created the various musical backgrounds I could have and obviously influenced my professional attitude, my way of approaching both music composition and singing, particularly phrasing.

When you are able to make a living with your job as an artist, that means you have an audience and you have to thank this audience.

Of course the folk guitar is the one I play very often, but I wanted a more electric sound.

The fact of playing an instrument and singing... that I can try to make my dream of singing and becoming a professional musician come true is linked probably to the fact that I traveled a lot, which gave me an open mind and an ability to push my limits.

You just have to try before thinking that you can't.

The audiences are really different in general. Even in the same country or in the same city, from one venue to another, the audiences can be totally different.

Of course I am stressed after I finish working on an album about what an audience will think, if it will be successful or not.
