[Exclusive] MOFAK (France) 獨家訪談 Interview 2017

1. Can you introduce yourself? 請做個自我介紹

2. You are from France, and now move to LA. What are the differences between these two cities, especially the G-Funk music scenes?

你來自法國，現在住在洛杉磯。這兩個城市有什麼差別嗎？尤其是G-Funk音樂市場上來說？

Mofak：yes, I still in Marseille but I go to LA 3 times per year to work and making collaboration with rappers & singers, I need it because the scenes of G-funk in Marseille is out lol, but the city look like LA we have palm trees, sun, smoke ...
Mofak：是的。我仍住在法國馬賽，但是每年都至少造訪洛杉磯三次，為了和當地的饒舌歌手們進行合作交流。我會需要這麼做，是因為基本上馬賽的G-Funk音樂市場已經枯竭了(笑)，不過馬賽這城市在某些方還是和洛杉磯很像，我們也有棕梠樹、陽光、大麻...

3. I heard that you were a dancer first, then started making music.

How did you learn making music?

聽說你最先是位舞者、然後才開始做音樂？你是如和開始學會製作的？

Mofak：I was beatmaker first but I dancing longtime without music and one day I broke my arm and I replay some beats.
Mofak：我很早知道如何製作beat，而我也跳舞跳很久了，但其實都沒特別去鑽研製作音樂這塊領域。有一天我手不小心斷了、不能跳舞...然後就開始自己摸索出一些beats來。

4. Do you still remember the very first song u made?

你還記得你做的第一首歌嗎？

Mofak：I remember the first beat I made it was so funny but the funk was there. so I continue to practice and to be better and better.
Mofak：我還記得我的第一首beat，想起來還是覺得很好笑，但Funk的精髓還是在那。所以我持續練習、然後變得越來越好。

5. What are your biggest inspirations? What are your favorite albums?

影響你最大的是什麼？最喜歡的專輯是什麼？

Mofak：I have so many inspiration from G-funk to bossanova and Jazz funk. Its difficult for me to say one, but I like Stevie Wonder/Roy Ayers/Sergio Mendes and more. one of my favorite albums is Don Blackman but I have so much too lol.
Mofak：有許多音樂風格影響著我，從G-Funk、Bossa Nova、到Jazz Funk等都是。要我特別挑一位喜愛的音樂人很難，但有些喜歡的歌手，像是Stevie Wonder、Roy Ayers、還有Sergio Mendes。最喜愛的專輯大概是Don Blackman的同名專輯，不過當然還有好多講也講不完 lol
