RS: When you write songs like "Lover On The Line," do you start
with the hook or do you start with the track? How do you write your
songs?
N-Euro: It depends. Sometimes it's just music in your head or
sometimes it's some catchy lyrics.
RS: Watching you perform in Miami, I was very impressed because
the crowd didn't know who you were, but you got them all into it. How
were you trained, or how do you get that kind of stage presence?
N-Euro: That's a hard question. I don't know. I usually think that it
isn't me, that somebody from heaven or whatever gave me this power to
move audiences. I don't know where it comes – from my heart I guess.
RS: Very nice. And speaking from the heart, I also hear that
you're working with some projects for children.
N-Euro: Yes, actually I have my own children's magazine, and I write
stories for children, and stories for grown-ups also. I'm doing loads
of songwriting, and all this other stuff also. I try to keep my eyes
really wide open to different things, because when you are looking to
loads of different things, you see dance music and life much better
than just sitting in the studio.
RS: You also have a cartoon character on your arm – tell us about it.
N-Euro: Yes, yes. It's just N-Euro trademark. It's like Coca-Cola or
Adidas or whatever. I really hope to get worldwide success, but
actually I don't dream about money. I really dream big concert ideas.
Concerts are the things that keep me going.
RS: When you're working in the studio on music, do you use Logic
or ProTools? What software do you use?
N-Euro: Logic, and actually it's a lot of different things. This is a
hard question because I use lot of stuff, we could talk about this for
hours.
RS: What is your favorite remix of Lover On The Line?
N-Euro: It's hard to say because they all are a bit different, but
lately the ClubStarr remix which was on the DJ dance list compilation
in the UK. I think it's my favorite, it's kind of soft.
RS: Very cool. What's coming next for you in the U.S., after Love
On The Line?
N-Euro: My new single "Here I Am" is half English and half French,
but we're still thinking about it, maybe to do something new for the
U.S. market. We mix different styles, and we're just thinking, and in
a little time we'll come out with a new single. The U.S. is so
important to me. I had concerts in Palm Springs and Miami and they all
were excellent. I performed at the GameBoi night in Los Angeles and
the VJs Jason Lin and Bryan LaRock mixed the video live to my performance. That was an
incredible night. I love the U.S., I love the audiences, which are
really, really, really open.
RS: Very cool.
N-Euro: And actually I think that now everyone is trying to do some
new rock music, or R&B or whatever style. But I think it's time for
dance music also, music to move the mountains. Dance music has all
this power of love.
RS: What would you like to say to all your fans out there?
N-Euro: I hope I have some fans already in U.S., so what would I say?
I think we need in our world a new love revolution, like a revolution
of love. I try to do this and if my fans have the same thoughts, we
can do this together. So let's do a really powerful dance music
revolution of love.
