Open your eyes. There is something out there.

                     

                                  

               My passions.

        I am passionate about discovering different cultures from all over the world, being open to their population and not to judge them for where they come from.  I love trying to help others as much as I can, especially through my passion for the arts, namely music and film.

          As I grew up, I realized that people could judge and critic others really easily. When I was 13, I would listen to rock music like “The Rolling Stones” or “The Clash” while the other students at my school hated this kind of music, so they would not want to talk to me. But it made me realize that I would rather be different and stay myself than try to be like everybody else, and to listen to the same music or wear the same clothes as everyone else. The other experience which has helped me realize that people’s judgment was not important has planted in me the seeds of a deep interest in other people and in their differences. I have family and a house in Los Angeles and everytime time I go there I just feel so so good because I don’t feel like Im being criticized or judged. What most people care about there is what you can make of what you’ve got.

           My father is a filmmaker and he produces documentaries about developing islands. I had the amazing chance to travel with him a lot, all over the world, when he was working and it has greatly influenced who I now am. Traveling to these islands has allowed me to learn more about foreign countries and the way families live there; their traditions, all the efforts they must make and how close they have to be to stay happy when life is hard because of a lack of recourses.

       

         I would come back to Paris from these trips and saw how people could argue about the way they dressed, it made me want to pay even more attention to developing countries. While other students would not accept my differences of interest, I wanted to meet people who did not want to be like everybody else and people from foreign countries.  I met some really interesting people who are now my best friends. We still have each others’ backs because our differences bring us together. They make me so happy and I always have an amazing time with them.

       I am passionate about music because if I had not discovered different kinds of music that other people did not like, maybe I would not have realized that people cared so much about being “cool” or whatever and that it really was not so important. It helped me become who I wanted to be, and not to try being like somebody else. So I started taking guitar and drums lessons when I was very young and I had been already taking piano and singing lessons for 8 years or something.

       I decided that I wanted to share with others what moves me, by combining my two passions together: the arts, and, not only helping people who are being rejected at school but also population from developing countries. I realized that through the arts, I could bring something to others. My passions have had an important impact on my life because I’ve found what I love to do and I am using it as motivation to go further in life. I wanna prove that people's differences can be really beneficial for themselves and for others. Through my videos and my music lyrics I wanna highlight how interesting developing countries are, how much there is to learn about their cultures, how much value they have, but also, mobilize people to feel involved in view to help them getting more recourses. Me and my family are part of a lot of charity organizations, do the same =).
