Krees lent himself to the game of portraits, here are some answers to our questions ...

Since when do you evolve in music?
Krees :
As a teenager, I started by doing theater (both classical and modern) at the Studio de Monaco until I was 18, and with my friends, we often went to sing at karaoke parties. It is there in 1995 that I met the musicians with whom I created my first group "Chula-Vista". Since then, I have never stopped singing, becoming a professional by applying all that I had learned in the theater to singing.
During my career, I joined many bands. Both rock bands, but also blues bands, as well as variety bands.

What are your musical influences?
Krees :
I like many styles in rock. Whether it is progressive; heavy-metal; psychedelic; stoner; indus metal or neo metal.
I also like a lot of electro music as well as classical music.

Have you already recorded an album or an EP?
Krees :
Between 1998 and 2003, when I was a member of Running Birds, we recorded two albums together.
The first one was called "First phase : the birth"
And the second one : "Feather trip".
In 2010 when I was part of the band Carmin, we recorded a mini album with 5 tracks called "Foule seule".
Currently I'm working on a new project, but I can't tell you more for now. Surprise ...!

Which song fits you best?
Krees :
It's quite a vast question because what I enjoy the most in this job is to give everything in order to be the most convincing whatever the style you are proposed to interpret. I would be tempted to say that if you give yourself the means, all styles and musical currents are able to correspond to you.

Which artist would you like to share the stage with?
Krees :
In first place I would put the late David Bowie, who remains for me one of the greatest artists that this earth could carry. But there is also Mike Patton (Faith no more, mister bungle), or Trent Reznor (Nine inch nails) who are artists for whom I have a lot of admiration.
RdvROCK
What are your other passions or interests besides music?
Krees :
I love reading. I read almost everything I can get my hands on.
Cinema too. When I like a movie, I immediately try to find the original work from which the movie comes from. This has allowed me to make some excellent literary discoveries.

If you could only keep 3 albums among all the ones you own, which ones would you keep?
Krees :
Houla la, that will be complicated ...!
There are so many albums that I particularly like...!
If I have to choose only three, I would say :
" Aladin Sane " by David Bowie ; " Rated R " by Queen of the stone age and " Fragile " by Nine inch nails .
RdvROCK
What is the unmentionable song you sing in your shower?
Krees :
"California" by Mylène Farmer. Or any song of William Sheller that I love ...!
