Actu : You come from Montpellier and you were one of the first winners of the Rose Festival springboard in 2023. What does Toulouse mean to you, where you are going to play at the Rex?

Carbonne: Carbonne: “I grew up in Mèze (Héraut) and I am very attached to my region. Toulouse is a city that I particularly like! I was lucky to win the first hill at the Rose a little over a year ago, those are good memories. So, I’m super happy to be able to come and play there as a headliner. And what’s more, it’s sold out, so I’m really excited! »

“Imagine opened doors for me”

The song that got you off the ground was Imagine. How are you experiencing this new notoriety?

Carbonne: “I take it well in the sense that it opened doors for me and today it allows me to do my first headlining tour! I’m so happy with everything that’s happening even if it’s true that I didn’t expect it to take so much! It’s super touching that this song found its audience. I’ve been releasing sounds since 2020. And it’s a hell of a reward for my team who works alongside me! »

We even saw you singing Imagine at the NRJ Music Awards…

Carbonne: “It’s rewarding!” I watched this show when I was little in front of the TV. So, being on the NMA set is truly incredible for me! »

“The guitar, I love it! »

In your EP, which came out right after Imagine, we hear a lot of guitars. Where does this passion for the acoustic guitar come from?

Carbonne: “I always wanted to put guitar in my sounds. But we had to find a color for this guitar. And I came across Rodolphe Babignan, it was a good match between us. He is heard on several songs in the EP and he is now with us on stage. The guitar allows you to party, or on the contrary, amplify emotion with sad sounds. I love it! »

At the Bikini next April

Your concert at the Rex has been sold out for a long time. When will we see you again in Toulouse?

Carbonne: “The Rex filled up in a few days and I received lots of messages from people who wanted us to add a date. So we thought of them and we will return on April 4 to the Bikini. And it’s going to be amazing! »

In the coming months, what will be next for you?

Carbonne: “I’m working on the rest of the project! There will be an expanded version of my EP. Great collaborations with other artists will also be released. I can’t say much more, but there are some great things being prepared for the end of the year and the beginning of next year! »

A quick word about Bigflo and Oli, whom you know well from the Rose Festival springboard?
