During his maiden tour to India, French powerhouse DJ-Producer (and recently-turned actor!) Cedric Gervais played at Club Royalty in Mumbai.Β The night was characterized by an undying energy which Cedric never failed to supply, as he dished out the old and new which everyone in the crowd could connect with. Here’s what the upcoming legend had to say:
Sherp:Β You just landed here yesterday. How has it been so far?
Cedric Gervais:Β I havenβt seen that much yet, but Iβm looking forward to seeing the country. I’m very jet-lagged butΒ tomorrowΒ Iβm planning to go see stuff in Delhi.
Β Sherp:Β If not a DJ, what would you have been?
CG:Β If not a DJ, maybe a soccer player!
Sherp:Β …And your favorite team?
CG:Β Marseille
Sherp:Β What do you think is the greatest feeling as a DJ?
CG:Β When everybodyβs dancing and just enjoying themselves, thatβs the best feel!
Sherp:Β Craziest partyΒ you’veΒ been to?
CG: I would say EDC Las Vegas, That was really amazing!
Sherp:Β One thing you donβt leave home without?
CG:Β Well, my USB stick with the music in it.
Sherp:Β Best crowdΒ you’veΒ played in front of?
CG:Β In my home town, Miami, a couple of weeks back in the club βSpaceβ.
Sherp:Β So what are you working on these days?
CG:Β Well I have, obviously this record with Lana Del Rey called βSummertime Sadnessβ thatβs out, I have another one called βYoung & Beautifulβ. Also I have a record βThings Can Only Get Betterβ Β thatβs out & many other records that are ready to go.
Sherp:Β Weβve seen the EDM wave run through India like wildfire. What do you have to say about it? Do you think itβs here to stay? Whatβs your take on the current culture?
CG:Β Iβm pretty sure it will! Iβm seeing this crowd for the first time, been hearing about India a lot now, a lot of DJs are coming here. ItΒ wasn’tΒ really a destination people are talking about, but now everyoneβs talking about it with festivals and a lot of club gigs happening. I think itβs going to get bigger & bigger. Itβs exciting!
Sherp:Β How did you come about naming the track βMollyβ? Weβre all pretty curious.
CG:Β It was one night that I was going to play at a club in Miami, I needed to make a track for the dance floor, just for fun, also I needed some vocals, so I said letβs look for a girl, and picked up the name Molly, so yeah.
Sherp:Β Youβre going to be starring in an upcoming movie opposite Hollywood biggies Dwayne Johnson & Mark Wahlberg. How did that come about?
CG:Β Iβm just friends with the director, Michael Bay – he put me in it, and yeah thatβs it. Iβm not really an actor!
