It said: “Misfortune is the genitor of tomorrow’s happiness”. That’s also where the name “Broken Back” came from! All thanks to Albert Cohen’s rich and meaningful advice. And then there are other themes in your EP as well…The song “Dear Misfortune, Mother of Joy”, to be released on the 23rd of March, was inspired by a quotation by French poet and author Albert Cohen that I fell upon a year and a half ago. That quote helped me turn this situation into something positive, because I knew that things would eventually turn around, that I would someday be able to get up on my two feet again, and achieve what I’ve been achieving up to today. My approach is immediately an “electro” approach, in terms of musical texture. I am currently creating my own website as well, which should be launched very soon! What do you talk about in your music?

In these projects, I am more involved with the creative tasks then I am with development or coding because it’s less time-consuming and I also appreciate it more.

I have less time of course, but what’s great with my position and professional independence is that I can manage my time and adapt my schedule. Do you still have the time to participate in these projects today?

I’m currently taking part in the development of the brand “De Rigueur”, and I also created a digital agency when I was studying. Yes, it is quite similar! And I am actually very interested in entrepreneurship in general, and about getting involved in projects. What I find fascinating about musical projects is that there is so much material to work on: the production, which entails the recording, the EP and the album… and then there’s also the “live” and practical dimension of it all: practicing the guitar, the singing and rehearsing, rehearsing and rehearsing! Your music band works a bit like a growing business then! Yes, you could say that! I write texts, compose and record my songs on my own. So, musically speaking, you do a bit of everything? I also studied music theory for 13 years in the conservatory of St Malo – rather unusual! Then, I had to stop for lack of time when I got into preparatory school, but I took up guitar and singing in the meanwhile. Yes, I had classes of classical music and jazz. Last June, I finally finished my course and decided to invest myself in Broken Back completely! Did you ever take music lessons? At the time, I was in my third year at l’EDHEC (a renowned French university specialised in business), and I had one year left to complete my studies. When I put the song online, I realised that I wanted to continue making music. It was the first song I recorded myself and with my own material and in that sense it was an initiative of sorts, paving the way for my future musical experiences. I started to get into music production a year and a half ago when I recorded a cover of Bon Iver’s “Skinny Love”. Here’s the portrait of a bundle of humility and sincerity, surrounded with melodious soundtracks.

But by the time hip-hop crept into the 1990s, violent overtones were the norm in rap songs, drawing the ire of political pundits and activists who were appalled by the content featured in the culture's songs.Both incredibly tuneful and catchy, Broken Back’s songs have been playing continuously in our heads and office! We met Jérôme, the young musician who initiated the band, and he told us more about his music, inspirations and conception of happiness. began to popularize gangsta rap - was lighthearted jams for the party or based around cautionary tales and social commentary. While there were more than a few fearsome figures in rap, much of the music made prior to 1988 - when acts like N.W.A. Going back as early as pioneers like Melle Mel, who was one of the first street-certified MCs in rap, hip-hop had its fair share of imposing figures during the 1980s, including Just-Ice, Eric B., Big Daddy Kane and other legendary rap luminaries. Street cred can be attained through various means, but striking fear in others is one of the more prevalent - and effective - ways to go about being respected in the streets, as well as in the realm of hip-hop. The game has always placed a premium on street cred, which is a testament to one's reputation throughout the areas they frequent and beyond. Toughness has been an admirable trait in the world of hip-hop for quite some time.
