Your name:
Yves
Jean.
Where are you
from?
New York.
Name of band:
Yves Jean.
Who else is in
your band?
Hired mercenaries.
How would you
describe yourself and your music?
I consider
myself an optimistic positive person. However, at times, I find myself battling
with realities of the world that can make you a cynic. Hence why I have many different styles and subject matter in my music.
My music is alternative rock-based, with a heavy influence of world, electronic,
jazz and pop.

main influences musically?
James Brown, The
Police, Bob Marley, P-Funk, Jimi Hendrix, The Clash, Massive Attack, Salif Keita.
What do you hope
to achieve in music?
I hope to
continue to travel the world enlighten people. As well as have someone
else handle this business of music.
What has been
the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Recently putting
out my fifth release, my new EP. I did not think I’d be doing this 15 years
later.
And what’s the
moment you want to forget?
Playing shows to three people in the audience
when drove five hours to do the show.
If you had to
pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
Go To Hell (Wish You Well). It shows the musical dynamics within many styles. This
can be similar to what one goes through in life, in regards to inconsistencies.
Where can we listen
to it?
Where can we
find out more about your music?
Anything else
you’d like to say about your music that I forgot to ask?
It’s a unique
way of writing with a pop sensibility. I have people that are fans of Aloe
Blacc, One Direction, African music and The Clash.
