Arezu Weitholz
The stranger who in 2002, a week after my arrival in Paris, lent me an electric piano. Since then, he stopped asking me if my piano skills had improved.
Fortunately, he was able to highlight other things: with Daniel, I wrote my first lyrics in French, he also offered me some lyrics that he wrote on his own, he directed quite a few of my music videos (EPK with Villa Paris, Automne, Larzac…), created my first website and introduced me to other musicians with whom I forged relationships, in short, he was essential for my musical journey. Moreover, he is a very interesting artist.
