BIO
I’ve always loved travelling. Since I was 19 and I travelled alone in the US, my dream had always been to book a one way ticket, and embark on a lifelong trip.
In March 2007, after numerous travels to Senegal, Kenya, Morocco, Central America and the Caribbean, I eventually embarked for a one way trip that would take me from Paris, where I’m from, to India.
There, only a day after I arrived, I met Matt Black, founder of Coldcut (and Ninja Tune), who invited me to come and work for him in England. At that time, I had already had one of my tracks remixed by Tiefschwarz, also remixers of Madonna and Depeche Mode, and had been on the radio worldwide on underground electronic radio shows, from Russia to Australia, from Kiss FM to BBC1, and from France to the US.
Still, I was quite unknown on the music scene, apart from a dozen thousand people who had bought a record or a compilation on which I’d been.
And then came this song, I say Yeah, which seems to be able to make anybody smile, from age 1 till 85, in any given circumstance.
I've seen people from all ages, continents, social groups and sexes clap their hands, smile, and sing the chorus with me, it's a blessing. Having the opportunity, through a song, to share so much with people is truly a blessing. There is something magic about this song. It's not really mine, it's yours.
Walked the earth with just a guitar and a computer to get there. From Paris to Senegal through Mumbai and London, I have done 20 000 km to get here, and I won't stop. "I’m a digital nomad / all I need is my computer / my home is where my hear is / all I need is a visual mat".
Blessings
Matsai
