How did you end up getting spotted by Damon Albarn’s label Honest Jons?
A friend of mine passed on my album to get a bit of advice from people working at the label. They were really into it right away! And that was a huge stroke of luck for me because it’s still really tough to get signed in the U.K. These days, you have to deliver a pretty much finished product and have your concerts up and running already. Ten years ago, bands could just turn up with a demo and if the label liked what they heard and thought they had potential, they’d give them a chance. So as a French woman living in London what’s your take on the music scene on both sides of the Channel? Well, I’d say since Daft Punk and Air came on the scene, English people have a different image of France. And Serge Gainsbourg’s very respected over here – although I have to admit that’s a pretty recent thing. When it comes to their approach to music, I think the English are a lot more productive because they don’t sit down and ask themselves a lot of questions before they act the way French people do
