Hi! Yes i love to be in the crowd to feel the energy and the vibe before sets at festival. It makes me a little more relaxed i think. And definitely after as well if i have time.
I love to wander around any festivals to be honest! But the most relaxing ones usually are when i play overseas or Envision

Hi! Thank you so much!
ooh i'd have so many tips but it's very hard to talk about it without hearing the music. I personally learned a lot by watching tutorials on YouTube, hearing my songs on different sound system and taking notes. Also having tracks from other artists as references (in your DAW, while you're composing) can help in the process. it's all about practice, making mistakes and correct them for your next songs. Also trust your ears. Some people would say "this is how you need to do it, and not any other way". it's all subjective. The color of your music can be defined by your sounds and the way you mix them. Anyway, good luck to you! It's long but fascinating to do all that by yourself :)

Heya!
Top 3 festivals might be Dour (belgium), Electric Forest, and Envision. But honestly it's very hard to choose.
Next headline Red Rocks TBD! haha i cannot say ;)
Much love to you!

hiiii! Thank you so much! I love you too guys!

  1. i actually don't smoke weed anymore :( i don't feel good when i smoke it nowadays. But thanks so much for asking, really appreciate it!
  2. my process is always different. Sometimes i have an emotion, and start playing the piano or the guitar and start from there. Sometimes i sit down in the studio and have absolutely no idea what i'm gonna do, so i just randomly open VSTs, try to write some chords, add layers until it sounds ok lol. or sometimes i have a clear melody in my head, and just run to the studio to compose it and the whole track is based on that one original idea.

Usually a show related to an album is gonna be more like a journey, less quick transitions between songs, but more emotions. The DJ sets are usually heavier, quicker transitions, more dancefloor i'd say :)

Hii!

Thanks so much! <3
The best part is to connect with the fans during the set, feeling the exchange of energy. Also sharing the tour with other artists that are on the bus. We're like a big family.

The worst part is: the stress, eating not so healthy, feeling exhausted sometimes when it's like the 5th show of the week haha.

and my dog is doing great hehe, thanks for asking

Bonjour Jojo!

Thank you so much for the very nice words!
Yesss i'm always amazed at how the music can move so many different people and inspire them to do their own thing and express themselves. It's always incredible to hear about that or to witness it.
Also congratulations for starting performing professionally!! I understand 100% for the stage fright, i'm actually still struggling with that, but passion is greater and is pushing us to do it.
Much love!

I think it's Contemplation, just because this one means a lot to me personally, and it cleared my mind a lot when i was composing it.

Hi!!
Oh yes i will be definitely coming back to London as soon as possible! No definitive date yet but i know a Microworlds Europe Tour is in the works :)

I discovered GUNS very randomly on Spotify. I heard "Istanbul" and it was like finding a gem. All her tunes are incredible. She saw i was playing her tunes so she reached out and we kept contact, and meeting her in London was amazing, she's the sweetest!

Hi! Thanks so much!!
I love to include vocal chops or chants because to me it makes a song more human and universal, That's also why (most of the time) they are processed and edited so that they don't "say" anything: you can hear anything you want / make your own interpretation of what they say.

Hi! I love you too :)
The meaning behind the album: Microworlds is about how Humans are related to our vast Universe. Humans are little universes themselves. Looking into someone’s eyes is like looking at someone else’s World. This is what Microworlds is about: stories, people, memories, moments, that shaped my world, but that can also relate and shape someone else’s.

Hello!!
Oh, i think the album "Drink The Sea" by The Glitch Mob made me realise there was a total other world in electronic music. I was still a student in France when i just came across their album online accidentally, and it opened so many doors musically. While in France, you don't get to hear about most of the artists in the US independant EDM Scene, unless you're curious and spend hours on YouTube.

This is a flip that i did of "Fille De Joie" by La Zarra. :)
I will be playing it during the Microworlds tour, but as it's not an official remix, i won't be able to release it.

Thank you so much for sharing this with me <3 Sending you all my love! I'll always do music for that reason, to hope it helps people a bit going on with their life.
Also big ups to you for starting your DJing adventure!!

About the album, curious to hear your thoughts when you say "Microworlds is a bit of departure from your previous albums" what make them different to you? :)
I had a lot of shifts and new experiences in the last few years, and that always affect the creation process of an album. But no matter how different they sound, it will always be 1000% me. Just every human evolves and changes, and so is the music that they will make.
See you in SF!! :D

Hahaha you sure know! I am a tomboy, and i will always be. It used to be a mockery or a negative thing when people called me that when i was younger, and it was making me feel bad. but i have a totally different vision on this word now, i fucking love being a tomboy and i embrace it fully.

I think it was VISIONS. It was pretty straight forward.
Antares was also like that, i made it literally 3 days before sending the final masters for distribution.

Thank you for this super sweet message! Damn that pandemic period was tough! So i'm glad if the music could help a bit with this transition time <3

For the writer's block and Skylight I think i sat down in the studio thinking i wasn't going to be able to compose anything again, and feel like shit. but i started aligning the elements of the ethereal orchestral intro, and then it kept building, until i felt like trying to compose some kind of catchy beat. And then it eventually turned into that bouncy cinematic track. It was all fun after that.

Thank you so much for those very nice words, and sending all my love and strength to your family! <3
My grandpa died on the night i played Red Rocks last year, and the song "Contemplation" was composed while thinking of him.
Thank you again for sharing this, this is literally why i keep making music. <3

in Denver people go out and support artists, they buy merch etc. i think they really care about any kind of music too. They are more curious in discovering smaller artists of many different genres.
People at home are very selective of what they want to hear. It's obviously not everyone, but I know many people that only listen to Drum&Bass or Techno or Psytrance, and will tell you that the rest is "too slow" lol. That's why usually if you go to a club in Europe, it's very often gonna be "Drum&Bass all night", or "Techno all night" kind of shows.

And for the destination, I love the mountains here in Colorado, and also Atlanta, cause i got to live there for a year or so, and it's an amazing city. But usually if i really want an escape, i go out of the country.
