What is your musical background?
I have a rather atypical background because, at the start, I have a classic training. I played the harp at the conservatory from when I was 5 to 18. At the same time, I sang in my corner, I always liked it. In high school, I was part of a small reggae dancehall group and, by necessity, I started to evolve in this environment and to professionalize myself, to live from my concerts. I have done a lot of scenes in France and internationally, I am quite well known in this somewhat underground environment that is reggae today.
What would be the advantages of “Magique” for Eurovision?
What is undeniable is that it is a very catchy song, which gives off positive vibes. At the moment, I think people want to forget their worries a bit and have some fun. The fact that there is a harp mixed with a style which, on paper, has nothing to do with it, makes it atypical.
What will your performance in “Eurovision France” look like?
I am going to play the harp at the beginning, on a clean production. And then, when the sound starts, it will be a whole different atmosphere, very “girl power”, very choreographed.
If I say “Eurovision”, you think of which artist?
The one that I preferred is Netta, with Toy. I like the production, the melody, what the singer embodies, her voice. Musically, it’s successful. It’s a good recipe: one piece catchy but who has a soul.
Beyond your participation in “Eurovision France”, do you have any other news?
We can announce the release of a project, which will undoubtedly be more of an EP than an album. I don’t know yet, because I have a lot of pieces, I don’t know if I put them all in or if I cut it into several projects, but anyway, something will come out in the spring.
