What is your musical background?

I made my debut in the music industry at the Music Hall, the club which reputation has exceeded our borders. In this same optic, I continued my studies in finance, which eventually became my career as I worked in banking.

Following my time on stage at the Music Hall, I participated in many projects, while remaining faithful to the range which means a lot to me. The world of commercial music has never been what I want nor has it ever inspired me.

 

Why did you choose finance rather than a career in music?

Initially, it was a rather rational decision, it then became a career, and today it's a passion. I have to be passionate about everything I do. I don't think you excel in your field if you don't have passion. I constantly need to be in love with what I do. In addition, one must have a certain flexibility of mind to learn to adapt to the imposed circumstances.

 

Tell us about the song "Corsica".

It's a cover of the polyphonic song by the great artist Petru Guelfucci, which is almost something of a legend in his homeland. After my trip to Corsica, I decided to remake this song, but in my own way, because for me, imitation reduces the credibility and authenticity of the artist.

 

Why did you choose a song for Corsica and in the Corsican languageuage?

I'm in love with France and especially the South. I love to travel and explore very unusual areas. Every year I would go to discover the medieval villages around the South of France. In 2013, I decided to go even further south and explore Corsica by motorbike. The bike allowed me to visit unusual places and reach the coves and creeks. During my short stay, I found little by little that this beautiful island is similar to Lebanon, but in a less chaotic version and I felt a certain melancholy and a great nostalgia. But at no time have I felt disoriented.
I was both jealous and fascinated by the beauty of this island and its very homogenous people.
