I've been to India, Jordan, South Africa, Namibia, Senegal, Australia, Madagascar, Oman, The States, and a lot of countries in Europe, just to visit... I wanted to make music to connect all of these influences, and make a multicultural music with these experiences.

I could never imagine ever in my life that I'd be on the side of The Louvre.

When I was little, I was listening to the Beatles, Bob Marley, Janis Joplin, and stuff. I had a big soul music culture, and not so much a French one.

Jain

My favourite place was in The Congo. It's where I began to write songs and build myself as an adult.

Jain

I just write about what makes me sad, and then when I write, I hear myself. It's like therapy, where I write something sad and then I make it happier or hopeful.

Jain

It's really important because it's how you present yourself to people, and for me it's an act of respect, you know? To get dressed for the people who came to the show.

I think it's hard when you're a woman because the music industry is way more masculine than feminine, so you have to make your own space and fight for it.

I quietly work with my computer on the tour bus, and then I wait to make my more natural rhythms when I get home.

Jain

Cultural appropriation is a big problem, but the thing is, I didn't invent my life. I really lived in Africa.

Jain

I was always playing with whatever I could get under my hands, making rhythm with it, which was natural for me, because my parents were listening to a lot of African music.

Jain

I started to write my songs when I was 15 and living in the Congo.

Jain

I just wanna write about what I am living as a citizen. That's all.

Jain

When I was very young, I just loved the idea of tapping on stuff, so I was always making a lot of noise.

Jain

Music is like my secret garden. It's where I heal myself from every pain that I feel. It's like a therapy.

Jain

I'm from a little town from the south tip of France, to be able to play in Coachella and meet other artists from all over the world and to connect with people that I love from my hometown is something amazing.

Jain

I always write about something that moves me.

Jain

My music would be very, very different if I haven't traveled.

Jain

Since I was a child, I was yearning to learn about percussion because that's what I loved.

Jain

I'm from the Southwest, and in the Southwest of France, you're not supposed to love Paris.

Jain

When I travel I always try to see shows from a local group, and with the Internet it's important to have a global vision of music.
