Mike Clinton

Music has always accompanied Mike Clinton. Born June 19, 1975, he grew up in St Denis (93) where he started music at the age of 6 at the conservatory, even if Mike’s future was football. The music is played by everyone at the Clintons, in the church that Mike attends, in the underground environment of St Denis (it’s “The time” of NTM, of Joey Starr later crossed over). It will also be in Guadeloupe, where Mike must leave as a teenager, abandoning the very serious pro football projects to invest the hut in Creole metal from the grandmother! It is in Guadeloupe that the arm injury occurs and that the bass takes its place; up to eight hours a day during the holidays ... From the sound of Miles Davis, or groups like Weather Report and Sixun (Mike often crosses paths with Michel Alibo, the family friend and his mentor), passing by the parents' Haitian kompa and universal soul, there is no shortage of influences. You also have to reckon with dad's Gabon. However, Mike retains well and quickly: that earned him a long two years in advance in school, that is to say!
