It transmitted the love of the trade, the respect of the artists, the determination and obstinacy to me. When an artist is signed, at the beginning one is right two to believe in it: the artist and oneself. It is there that the job starts and that one starts to hear heaps of conneries of the style “that will never walk! ”. Pascal left me freehand when he entrusted the direction of AZ to me, the new label of Universal Music. I am happy when it joined us on scene to give his double platinum to Chimène.

Quotations

“ the public of the Net surfers has an erroneous image of what can be a producer ”. “ It is a trade of passion, it is a trade of meetings, where one passes his life to be exchanged from the points of view with human beings ”.

“ I am stockbreeder of artists, I do not believe that managers will seize the power on creation”. “ One forever have as many artists and one forever consumed as much music and that will go like that more and more ”.

“ Internet evolves/moves, it is necessary that one finds laws and executives of laws which evolve/move at the same time as this machine. I am closely persuaded that one will find solutions in the years or the months to come so that one stops on a side plundering music and other which one also finds of the proposals which satisfy the interest of the Net surfers ”.
