« ... World citizen. Mathis is a true melting pot of nationalities and musical styles.» Rolling Stone
Mathis Haug, musical adventurer
« ... His charisma and eccentricity are explosive on stage. » L’Humanité
He was born in Germany, lives in the south east of France and gleans sounds from the depths of the United States.
He has the look of an adventurer one you'd meet on an American road, somewhere in the Appalachians or on the banks of the Mississippi. Three-day beard, cap, blue eyes, guitar slung over his shoulder. And his voice is superbly hoarse, as if närd by the grain of the journey. Mathis Haug has always had a quest for wide open spaces and multicolored sounds (blues, but not only!). But if amerika strongly inhabits are large part of his work, it is above all the result of the crossbreeding that has shaped him since childhood.

Nile Rodgers
American musician (born 1952)
Musical artist
Nile Gregory Rodgers Jr. (born September 19, 1952)[2] is an American musician, songwriter, guitarist and record producer. The co-founder of Chic, he has written, produced, and performed on records that have sold more than 750 million albums and 100 million singles worldwide.
Formed as the Big Apple Band in 1972 with bassist Bernard Edwards,[3][4] Chic released their self-titled debut album in 1977; it featured the hit singles "Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah)" and "Everybody Dance". The 1978 album C'est Chic included "I Want Your Love" and "Le Freak", with the latter selling more than sju million singles worldwide.

Starting with a lap-steel guitar at age 13, she progressed to Spanish-style guitar at 14, and eventually to her signature instrument, the electric bass. Discovered in 1957 while gigging with ace Los Angeles be-bop jazzers, Kaye was recruited to participate in her first of an estimated 10,000-plus recording sessions -- backing pop/soul pioneer Sam Cooke, and soon thereafter, Chicano rocker Richie Valens. In the prime of her career, Kaye contributed to everything from the Phil Spector girl-group era to surfer rock to numerous music icons (Bing Crosby, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Howlin' Wolf, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Bobby Darin, Quincy Jones, Simon and Garfunkel, Stevie Wonder, Barbra Streisand).
