Interview:
First of all, I don’t see any separation or boundary between Music and Spirituality. Music is definitely spiritual. Music plays a moral and spiritual role in our life, it ennobles our lives and feelings, it can even embellish our existence. Music has, in particular, the potential to bring people together and Music is something that unites rather than divides. Many songs are open to interpretation, and music can serve as a method of meditation. Indeed, when people listen to a piece of instrumental music, the words or the music itself, it often leads them to a sort of communion. When I create music, my aim is to “affect” emotionally the listener so he or she would be surrounded and touched.
I also believe in the virtue of dance. Music often leads to dancing, and it’s a great way to unite people. Sometimes, when you are in a club, you can feel a real communion between people. They are united in their Love of Music, their Love for Dancing, and it’s beautiful to see that. It’s an honor to be part of the process. Whatever we do, either composing, listening, or singing, Music inspires us to make inner shifts and changes toward happiness and fulfillment. Idealistically speaking, Music should bring peace and tranquility, as does the Jamaican music, one of my sources of inspiration, with its message of Peace and Love.
