Creative Commons Artist Spotlight: Monsieur Madame

In this week’s Creative Commons Artist Spotlight, we interview French artists Monsieur Madame about their CC-licensed album Et Maintenant, available at Jamendo.com.

Why did you decide to release your music under a Creative Commons license?

Because we just want to be heard. It’s hard to sell music because there are a lot of bands. We just like to play live music and share it with people. The Creative Commons is a good way to share directly.

How much of your work is CC-licensed?

All tracks of the CD (Et Maintenant) are CC-licensed. The new ones, not yet.

Who are your musical influences?

Maybe are we influenced by French bands, such as Rita Mitsouko or Thomas Fersen, for example.

What tools do you use to produce your music?

A guitar and a pen (to write songs!)

Which of your CC-licensed songs is your favorite?

I think that it’s “Du sable entre les doigts de pied” because it’s sweet!

Are you touring, and if so, how can readers find you?

No, for the moment. We are trying to play in live once a month in Paris, in the Bibax Bar (10th arrondissement) for example.

Anything you’d like our readers to know about you?

We’re going to work on a new CD in october. We’ve already got 12 new songs so… Let’s go!
