Mc diem's biography :Born in Le Val de Marne (Greater Paris) at the beginning of the 80's, MC diem spent most of his youth in the country. However, he was deeply influenced by the spirit of the suburbs and by the multicultural suburban references. Living with people from different backgrounds, he developed an open-mindedness and a curiousity to other people, to strangers which is the driving force of his life. If he praises tolerance towards every people so much, it is first because he himself suffered from seeing the various ethnic communities tearing each other apart and secondly because as a native French youngster he suffered much from being rejected by some emigrants.He was given an Arabic-Muslim first name : Mehdi ( of which MC diem is the anagram) without having any Arabic origins and cultural background. He quickly became aware of the meaning of his first name :«Allah's messenger to guide the souls ». That's why he listens carefully to the people and their suffering and considers the differences between people which are some of the main themes of his lyrics.For MC diem, writing songs is a way of surviving and facing up the ovewhelming importance of the looks in our society. As a Hip Hop music lover, he wants independence and freedom of tone and refuses to keep up with today's gangsta or bling bling Hip Hop trends. He claims to be Hip Hop but rather the old school type which means a critical, lucid Hip Hop with political issues and not meant to make money. MC diem loves Hip Hop but he also enjoys other music styles such as rythm and blues, jazz, soul and pop music, reggea, raga and even classical music. He needs all these musical influences to broach and write about his favourite themes : love, neighbourhood lifestyle, political opinions, questioning about history, philosophy of life, analysis of the society...Another notable characteristic is the mixture of various voices : within a song, he can use alternatively a deep low voice and a soft light voice. For him new songs usually lead to new pitches.With these voice variations MC diem tries to force a new hip hop style on French musical industry.That's the reason why he sings in German and English as well. Music is definitely the universal media which can move everyone's soul and heart; so it may help people to get in touch and communicate. He has already made some featurings with German Rap musicians in order to improve French people's appreciation of the German language which is often bad, even in younger generations. Multicultural, polyglot, « multi-pitched », ecclectic... MC diem is an artist with good future so stay tuned !Bye ! Bislama !
