Vendredi sur Mer was born a little over three years ago now. It’s the name I chose to embody the project: I needed an unusual name, which makes wander and wonder. It's the first introduction you get from an artist and I needed for people to journey with me through it. Vendredi sur Mer is like a bubble, my own bubble, a world of its own. I really wanted the journey to start with the name.

I've been lucky to meet a lot of pretty important people since I moved to Paris. Everything has moved rather quickly since I got here. My first live experience happened here in Paris – it was a little less than a year ago. Today, I am a lot more comfortable on stage and I know what direction I want to go in and where I want to take the people who are listening to me. It was hard to start because I felt so vulnerable on stage. My songs are my whole life: my past, my present, but sometimes, also my fantasized future.

There is a real coherence between my music and the visual aspect of it. It's almost impossible to fathom Vendredi sur Mer without its visual impact. It's a blend of different areas where each responds to the other. I often talk about resounding images. I suppose that’s the reason why my videos are so lascivious, almost erotic: I like the idea of pushing one’s fantasies, emotions and feelings to the extreme.

Like I mentioned previously, it's a whole: fashion is part of it because it defines (or at least accompanies) a style it tells a story (the story of an era), and can even define an atmosphere. Everything is layered, and that's what I like!

I don't really like the idea of labelling everything. There isn’t a style to properly speak of, the proof that is that you can't even put me in a box! (Laughs) It's the same for every artist. Every song, every project has its own universe. Let's just focus on how and why it brings us pleasure.

Why not refer to it as ‘French touch’? We can always use that label to reach out to hardcore music fans in America (laughs). Anyway, above everything, I just hope to contribute with something fresh and new.

I am in the final stages of the album as we speak. Otherwise, I'm going on a mini tour right now, which will finish with a date at the Trianon in Paris on December 4. Those are the kinds of things that I really cherish: meeting people and sharing experiences.

It’s more than exciting. I’m kicking off this tour with a brand-new show, a new scenography with dancers, but specially, new songs from the album. I love the stage (actually, I often cry because it's so emotional), there are so many emotional moments. I’m realizing more and more how lucky I am to be living these moments and specially to see the venues getting bigger and bigger.

There have already been many unforgettable moments: I often quote my show at le Point Ephémère, which was one of the first, but there are so many more. I did a show in Lyon at the end of the summer – I cried even before getting on stage because the screams were so loud. Me and my mascara, thank you very much.
