JadeWeb : What is your first musical memory ?
That would be a children’s album called "free to be you and me"... i think it was about learning to be an individual... but i forget. i just remember a very colorful cover.

Which artist or song has "affected" your childhood ?
When i was 8 my favorite band was KISS.. when i was 10 my favorite band was the beatles... before those ages i don’t think i was too aware of popular music.

Did you think of working in music ? What did you really want to become later?
Since i was 15 i wanted to work in music. and nothing else... before that i wanted to be a clown... then a chef.

Are there any disturbing or nice sounds that have "affected" your childhood ?
The most affecting sound from my childhood would either be the sound of my mom vaccuuming.. i used to listen to it through my bed upstairs and she vaccuumed downstairs.. it would put me to sleep. also, the sound of baseball games over the AM radio... my dad used to listen to these during long car trips.. i remember being in the back of the car late at night being put to sleep by the crackling sounds and voices.

Did your parents give you a musical education ?
They made me take piano lessons when i bought my first synthesizer... i begged for them not to make me do it. but they did for 2 years...

Can you tell us about a musical memory of your childhood (a concert, a show..) ?
My mom taking me to see Kiss when i was 8... it was wild.


Your childhood "Top 5"

I suppose it would be anything by Kiss or the beatles... but i don’t remember.... after the beatles i started listening to new wave.. when i was12 or 13 or so.. getting into electronic music.
