“Music releases, the more you practice the more one is free ”
Your name as an artist?
My name is DI VALGO JEZ
Your real name?
My real name is Jean stone Koffi BOKO
What prompted you to embrace the musical career?
I would say it is a vital need, an urgency, a sense of worthlessness when I did not create. Like all entertainment, music relaxes, soothes, the spirit grows from that practice. One can smile, laugh or cry when you listen to a song: it’s emotion. Anyone who sings, it’s the one who always has something to say, first to himself and to a population; one who sings first spoke for itself. Every artist must reflect the image of his inspiration, but attitudes are still not the same. If you sing against trafficking in children you should not make the trafficking of children.
What kind of music are you doing?
I love traditional music. You know, making music is to convey a message through His Word or next course harmony.
Where do you draw your inspirations?
From the creative genius
Do you have an album on the market?
I would say yes, I three album and two available on the market but it does not work as I want, I have the impression that it is not a problem What! The hardest part is the text, the rest comes from itself What!
What do you love in life?
I love the honour.
What do you hate in life?
I hate dishonesty.
You mêles in two worlds: music and business. Are you looking for the same sensations, the same intentions?
For me it is a whole. When I finished composition, I feel lighter and I feel that the nature changes color, and the sky is much closer to the earth, or that my mind is returning from a long voyage. When a song is, it’s always a moment of surprise. I have not had any music education or business, it is a bit of an art thug: claim something that does not strongly. It is halfway between music and business where life is neither one thing nor the other. This requires know-how instead.
What advice would you give to those who want to develop your music?
The music releases, the more you practice the more one evolves and the more one is free. It is mainly operate largely autarky face to face with oneself. Do that yourself. As was said LIVINE DONNA ago in you everything is possible, whatever you want to be, all the energy to do what you want to achieve. Imagine yourself as you would like to be doing what you like to do, even if it sometimes seems too you to continue your dreams wish well. One morning you réveilleras to discover that you became the person you have dreamed simply because you have the courage to believe in yourself and your dreams. Understand that the world is not only physical (what we see) but also spiritual (what we do not see)
Your dream?
My dream is that my dream come true. What everyone is trying to know me, to see me and touch me. In a word, become a star.
