Read the 55 SECRETS Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hi, my name is Cyril and I am a French electronic music artist. I find inspiration in everything I see, that I love or hate.
I started music when I was 5, learning oboe and guitar. After some time making weird music on guitar pro 5 and music maker (yes…) I discovered logic 9 and Ableton 8 and from there I was doomed to live in dark rooms forever. I miss sunlight.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Yes, they changed a lot and I am glad they did (The Final *cough* down…) Well, to be honest, I like to listen to everything. For example, I love to listen to Chopin as much as I love Eminem. Nowadays, I am more triggered by the sound of Basstrick, Habstrakt, Dj Snake, RL Grime but even if I am making heavy electronic and bass music I still enjoy a lot of blues music and Black Sabbath, Anthrax, Lynyrd Skynyrd. "Be a simple man, be something you love and understand"
What´s new right now?
I have a lot going on at the moment. The social media thing is a bit quiet but I just finished a big production session with the UK rapper DFect and I really can't wait to share the new tunes we've made. However, it's mixdown time. I am also working on a really cool music video project but I won't say anything now.
What I'd like to say to the fans is to join me on Soundcloud, Twitter, Facebook, etc so they have all the new tracks as soon as they are out and know more about the future projects. Ah, and my music is free so do not hesitate to download it massively. ?

Are you a superfan of anyone? How did you become a superfan? Do you remember how you become a fan and what turned you into super fan? Have you ever thought about why you´re such a fan?

What was the biggest mistake you made when you started making music and what would be the number one tip you could give to a newcomer musician?
Yeah! I was making too much music. 17 hours a day sitting in front of a screen fries your brain. I made 500 tracks in 4 years and I am not even sure I have time to listen to them again.
Everything got better when I started having breaks regularly and going outside to record sounds. So my advice would be: make coffee breaks and record your own material.
