François Marius On the Making Of “Rasta Dance (STARRY NIGHT)”

Can you share any interesting or unique stories or perspectives in "Rasta Dance (STARRY NIGHT)?"

“Rasta Dance (STARRY NIGHT)” video was directly inspired by Vincent Van Gogh painting. I can feel rhythms in The Starry Night painting and the song.

What was your experience working with Engineer Simon Gibson who won the Grammy Awards?

Simon Gibson is one of the most respected mastering engineers in the world today and won a Grammy Awards for his work on The Beatles album. It has been a great honour and a privilege collaborating with him on my song. He put the finishing touches on the track, polishing it to perfection. Thanks to his exceptional work, the production quality shines through, with crystal clear instrumentation and vocals.

What do you like the best about "Rasta Dance (STARRY NIGHT)?"

The whole harmony of the song, everything comes together beautifully.

Can you tell us more about you as an artist?

I am before and after all a dancer. I was always dancing when I was very young and have been a Latino music aficionado for many years The first thing I have in mind, as an artist and when creating a new song is to focus on how the rhythm and vibe will make you feel when listening or dancing on the song. Those are the most important aspects of my creativity. It makes you happy and feel like wanting to dance.

How do you balance creativity and commercial success in your music career?

It's very important for me to separate the creative and business spaces, seeking for assistance and collaborating with others when needed. It's very important for me to keep a good balance on both sides of things without burning myself out, continuously learning while staying true to my artistic vision.
