J.H. : Hello Miss me , first of all thank you to be here for that #BBS
Report. Let's start this interview, tell us who you are what you do ?
M.M. : I am a canadian/ swiss/french weirdo that likes to paint her opinions and share them with the streets.
J.H. : So you are Paris, France native but you live in Montreal since 14 years. Why did you moved ?
M.M. : I actually was born in Geneva Switzerland, but did spend 11 years in france though. I moved to take the european ceiling off my dreams.
You're in New York City for one week to do you art, do you feel a difference between New York City , Montreal and Paris about the street art culture ?
M.M. : Each city has his own soul, light, energy, ghosts and magic...
J.H. : As we discussed before, you told me that you left your "9 to 5"
job of Art Director to be a freelance artist. So my question is why did
you decide to left a "regular job" ?
M.M. : I needed to give my soul a voice and my heart it's freedom.

J.H. : What is your best advices for the people who want to make this move ?
M.M. : We have two lives: the second one starts when you realize you only have one.
J.H. : You also recently went to Dakar in Senegal to do some painting, how was that experienced ?
M.M. : Soul-filling. it exploded my senses and blessed me with so much energy and with a drastic different way of living.
J.H. : What was your best moment as an artist ?
M.M. : Hard to say... so many little things...but i guess when you realize people you don't know truly appreciate what you do and tell you it really speaks to them... yes, that's my favorite part.
J.H. : And If you could write only one line of your future, what it will be ?
M.M. : To have meaning and to give meaning.
J.H. : What's your definition of HipHop ?
M.M. : Wow...i could go into a very descriptive an official description..but i guess for me, it's just a movement that started from the underground of a society, from it's streets and forgotten ghettos, and became huge through it's truth and funky authentic energy...
J.H. : What is better than money for you ?M.M. : Love.
J.H. : Thank you for that interview, now Miss Me. Now, this is the oppurtunity to tell what you want :

more artists and free-thinkers....and create more.
