This is the story of a web talent ...
and a ...
His name is Mathieu Saikaly
He has been chosen...
among 200 artists
I received a message on facebook telling me
"oh I saw your over of Mika, it's pretty good,
you should maybe try to put it up for
Monkey Tunes Contest."
"Tell us about your song"
So I chose this song first of all because
I know that the rhythm is pretty upbeat and bouncy,
because I didn't want to do something
-because I have a lot of other songs that -
- I talk a lot with my hands it's true -
that are sadder, softer, and i thought it was maybe
not the best option for my first song,
well I mean my first song recorded with a Monkey.
In fact it's about when you're feeling blue
it's a song meant to pump you up
"Your studio experience?"
He was very nice to me, he listened to me
especially when I was annoying about specific parts.
I want some very precise things.
But anyway it was a good experience.
"Why english"
I've been learning and working on my English
since I was about 5
and to me it is so much more than just a language
that sounds cool when you sing it,
I take it really as a poetic language
"Multi-instrumentalist?"
My main instrument is the guitar,
that I use for the majority of my originals and covers.
I play the ukulele, the babyharp too,
but well only a little bit it's not really...
and then the djembe, thanks to the guitar
I know several rhythms so I can play it a bit.
Where can we see you ?
Well yes I got a Youtube channel, Mathplup,
Math like mathematics and plup like pulp fiction
but you swap u with l -
that's the mnemonic I use when I need to say it very quickly
- see ? you'll remember it like that -
So are there some fans that you'd like to thank, some people ?
Hum, well, no not at all !!!!!
No really, thanks so much to everyone who voted for me,
my friends, my fans, well not my "fans"
I mean those who like my music
