Sheer genius is demonstrated by the fascinating versatile music producer and songwriter manuel joachim alexis Mahé in his new single “Deportation.” The impeccable artist’s tracks are creatively entertaining and captivate the audience with an immersive and catchy vibe.
We’re lucky enough to have sneaked in for an interview with a talented artist. He was generous enough to lend some of his precious moments as we gleefully stumbled deep into his personal and professional life. Here are some excerpts from the interview:
Congratulations on your last title “Deportation”, what do you think of this new success?
“Deportation” was composed based on a true story of a member of my family who was deported during WWII and died on a death march since Flossenbürg. It’s great for me to understand this memory and work on it.
Who was the first influence that inspired you to take the leap into the music scene?
I think it was really Deep Purple.
What were the big more initial obstacles in pursuing your musical dreams and how did you overcome them?
At first, alcohol, drugs, and certainly women afterward. I had a problem with a tendon in my left hand… half cut! It is a problem for to play instruments properly.
But I love music and when I compose or perform, all the problems are elsewhere
What goals have you achieved? What goals are you still working towards?
My goal, now achieved, was an album and this with little means now. I actually work to keep producing singles who are a part of me. My music is part of me.
Do you have dream collaborations? Who are they ?
Yes, I think all musicians are friends and when you love music, you love all the music in the world.
It’s for this that we can dream about collaborations? Because I have no problems with my collaborators, as with my label Distrokid or certain musicians, composers and performers I met to work on the internet.
Can we expect any projects to come soon? Please enlighten us on this.
Yes, I’m actually working on a cover and a composition of myself. I would like more and more intensive work, but the deadlines are not the same.
Thanks for speaking with us! For our last question, is there anything else you would like to add?
Respect musicians, we live a bad period and a lot of people need to have other thins as the violence of our world.
