He dropped his synth classes after just a few lessons. Following sheet music wasn’t really his thing, he wanted to create! He then discovered the 8bits mono sampling on his old Amiga 500 at the beginning of the 90s. He got a hundred or so songs out of that old computer. In 1996, he bought his first machine, a Groovebox MC-303, which he traded pretty quickly for a good sampler and small analog synths. While having too many influences to name them all, he mainly listens to French electro music, lots of disco and funk with a small preference for Italian disco from the 80s. He recalls his first live experience of 40 minutes at the Divan du Monde (Paris)on the 23rd of May, 2001, as a cool experience. At the beginning of 2004, first signature at Serial Records, for an EP “To You” and success is there! The second “Smashing Music” will follow the same way… 2005, new single, hot hit, “I’ll Be There” is placed in the charts, the year finished well with a collaboration under the name Serial Crew (Mathieu Bouthier/Muttonheads/Demon Ritchie) and the single “Need U”! The future will be the occasion to discover new original titles, remixes, and an album planned for 2006 if all is well! (Adapted from his autobiography, source http://www.muttonheads.com) |
