“I make music because I need it. It’s a moment of freedom and letting go.”

“I don’t know many people involved in music. I have always made music alone — and rather secretly. I also have always had the passion of listening to music. I like it as much as creating music.”

“The greatest moment so far (with audio/visual pairing) was when my music was used by Frito Lay for a big animation campaign. It was a really cute ad and it sounds so abstract or unbelievable that they choose the music of a secret man living in France.”
