How would you describe yourself and how would you describe your music?
I am a scriptwriter and a singer-songwriter. My music is a mix of soul and pop mainly. But my music is under a lot of other influences too...

I'm inspired by a lot of things: but mainly by the observation of others and well, myself and my relationships to the others...
I have just finished a feature-length comedy script called the Nagger with my co-writer Hugh Prior. And I am currently composing a new album for T-ka as well as a new album for a riot girl band called My car is Black. As a result I'm looking for band members. Found the drummer and the bassist yet but we're still looking for a keyboardist and a guitarist. Must be all females of course and London-based.
If you had the choice to collaborate with someone, who would it be?
Prince. He's the guy whose music is so rich I could listen to it forever. However his collaborations aren't really collabs. I don't think anybody has managed to impose anything on Prince yet...
At the moment I write songs where I'm taking the piss about myself. And all the weird stories that have happened to me...
When is your next concert?
Good question: I just did my last gig as T-ka in December. After 10 years spent under that name, I want a new one and won't perform again as long as I haven't found it: should be early 2011. As to when the first My car is black gig will take place, it all depends on when we find the missing members for the band - hopefully by May 2011.
To finish with, what would you wish to this blog?
"Bon vent" as we say in French and that more and more people read it... Also that you manage to interview and meet all the people you've always dreamt to meet!
