Interview by Isaac Davis Jr. For Junior's Cave.com

Isaac: What has been the best part of 2009 for you musically so far?

Sidney B: I did a big concert close from my home town, in south of France. It was just amazing and I worked on this event during few weeks. I was very happy with the result. It was original and funny to mix music and video screenings.

Isaac: What do you feel has been the biggest accomplishment for 2009 so far?

Sidney B: I finished my professional demo, my press kits, and my website. I guess now is my time to shine. I already have a lot a fans everywhere and good propositions to release my first album. I guess 2OO9 is the beginning of something huge!

Isaac: Describe the music scene in your area.

Sidney B: I used to live in France for a while, the type of music that works over there is French Folk and Pop. That's why I moved to North America. I always have been influenced by the North American culture. And I think here I feel more in my element.

Isaac: What has been the best venue to perform at and why?

Sidney B: I performed at the Colony in Miami, South Beach. It was just great: great interaction with the audience. At the end of the show, I invited some people in the crowd to join me on stage for a jam, it was an amazing experience.

Isaac: Elaborate a little about whom were your biggest influences in themusic industry and why?

Sidney B: I take my influences from every kind of music--Soul, Hip-Hop, Rock, Electro...but I got to say that the one that made me want to be an artist is: Michael Jackson. My old sister was big fan of MJ, so when I was a kid I watched his concerts and video clips almost everyday. My goal is to be a great entertainer, like he was.

Isaac: Let's talk about what you feel you will bring to the music industry?

Sidney B: I really feel that I can bring something new and refreshing in the Urban Music. By mixing the Hip-Hop, the Electro and the Funk. Now the music is kind of stereotyped, when you listen the radio it's seems that everyone is copying on each others. By the fact that I'm open to every kind of music, I'm sure I'll be able to take the sound to another level. Like Daft Punk or Justice did with Electro, I wanna put an innovative French touch into the Rap Game!!

Isaac: If you had an opportunity to work with one artist or group, who would it be and why?

Sidney B: I think I would like to work with Kanye West. We got many points in common; both we compose, rap and sing. I don't know him personally, but I think he is smart guy. He tries to bring something new in each album, and he takes his influences everywhere, like I do. I think we could have a successful collaboration. But there is many other artists that I'll be glad to work with; like John legend, Jamiroquai, Busta Rhymes, Dizzee Rascal and so many more...

Isaac: How would you describe your music to others?

Sidney B: I really don't like to put labels on my music. But if I got to describe it, it's between the Hip-Hop, Electro, R&B and Pop music. When you listen to my album, every song is different, but I think every time you can recognize the same touch.

Isaac: What type of feedback have you received from fans about your music?

Sidney B: I have to say that I have received many compliments from fans and people in the industry. Most of them didn't know me before and found me on the Internet. Lot of bands write me to make some remixes of their songs.

Isaac: Where can fans locate you at online?

Sidney B: I got a web site but it's still under construction (www.sidneyb.com). Otherwise I got a nice MySpace page with some music , videos and interviews.

(www.myspace.com/sidneyb06) Or if you wanna stay in touch with me I got a twitter (www.twitter.com/sidneybmusic)

You can write me emails, I'll be glad to hear from you guys!

Isaac: What can fans expect from you in the next five years?

Sidney B: That I'm gonna be HUGE, man!! I'm trying to find the best record deal, because I really want an international release for my first album. I think my music got a great commercial potential and I really want to spread it all around the world.

Isaac: Time for some shout outs to your family, friends, and fans…

Sidney B: First, I really want to give a big hug to my Mom, my family and my close friends in France. I miss them but they know I got to fulfill my dreams. I wanna thanks my friends and managers Howard Green and Marcel Jones in Toro - Junior s Cave
