the roots of all music come from underground

About Me

not much to say...
just can't remember precisely when the mutation started... can't remember when they submitted me to this GMO program... if i were some kind of a plant might stand for Genetically Modified Organism, well maybe yes... but i'd rather say that in my case it stands for Grieviously Musically Overwhelmed... did it start with the 1981 explosion of free radios in France ? ...maybe it started with listening to f*!?*ng Couleur 3 (if you haven't yet... try it) ! The only thing i'm sure of is that it sneakily lead me to the creation of the Ferarock radio station Graf'Hit and that it stuck me in Compiegne for twelve years... eagerly digging the fertile soil of underground musical territories... so then what else ? ...except maybe (quoting Prince) ...music is the food of life ...so ...bon apetit
