“Warholian DJ” Martin Solveig
Martin Solveig
Martin Solveig writes on post-it “Music is simple. More fun and less thinking. If success means “security” for some, “comfort” for others, Martin translates it as liberty; I just want to be free: C’est La Vie”. Martin has been associated to the famous French and international djs status ever since the creation of such a status but each of his release has allowed him to assert himself as a true artist.

His first album, Sur la Terre, met a quiet start in 2002. It was a remix for Salif Keita (Mali’s most famous star) that made everything happen. Solveig as a name had never been on everyone’s lips like this before. It provided Martin with the widest exposure he had ever known. “Madan” sold like hot cakes, and went past 100,000 copies and was compiled more than five hundred times all over the world the year of its release. Martin did it again a year later with “Rocking Music” which established Martin’s identity, a funk base mixed with contemporary energy and emphasized vocals which were and still are quite scarce in electro music. His second album Hedonist was released in 2005 and made a big success with the singles “Everybody“, “Jealousy ”, “Something Better” and “Rejection”.
And in June 2008 Martin Solveig released his 3rd album C’est la Vie. The very “warholian” counter-use of pop symbols can be found everywhere in C’est la Vie. Martin delivers eleven dynamic and uniting dance tracks. This 3rd album is maybe the birth of artist in its own rights. It’s your to say C’est la Vie !!.
