Near Rouen, a new recording studio for rappers and beatmakers
Through Mathieu Normand
Published on
the rapper Deno launched the association Wanted Music and son recording studio a maromme (Seine-Maritime). After 30 years spent working with the Rouen, Parisian and Marseille scenes, he decided to create this structure to facilitate access to music for all while continuing his artistic projects.
The place located rue de la Poudrerie has the equipment needed to record properly, mix, shoot on green screen or simply land. Everything you need to allow rappers to leave with a finished song or even, in some cases, to go as far as making a clip.
More than a hundred threads
“I put all that in place, because I struggled when I was young, says Deno. I learned on my own. I was not lucky enough to have access to a studio. Here we take the time to work with young people and accompany them on their journey, because often, when they arrive, they don’t know in which direction to go. »
This goes as far as providing support for the broadcasting of sounds on the various listening platforms, the creation of clips or even the production of album covers. “We don’t do the work of a label,” says Deno. But if we send that someone has potential, we try to develop it. The association participated in the production of “at least a hundred sounds and around thirty clips”.
Wanted Musik is also interested in beatmaking, an area in which SeiYxx, Deno’s son, excels. Workshops on this discipline could soon see the light of day. “On a dedicated space in the premises for beatmakers*”, specifies the president of the association.
A partnership with Idefhi
Deno opened this place with the help of his wife, relying on their own funds. “I’m putting together a grant file,” says Deno. I’ve been asking City Hall for help for a long time. But as I have no positive feedback, I decided to take the lead. To help finance the structure, it is possible to join for about two months.
For 40 euros per year, this membership gives access to preferential rates on various services. “These are prices that remain accessible. And we are always ready to make arrangements. The priority is that if a young person wants to make music, that we make music! Overnight, you can discover a nugget! About thirty people have already been tempted.
Wanted Musik also relies on a partnership with the departmental institute for childhood, family and disability for integration (Idefhi). “I have young people during school time and holidays, explains Deno. We set up writing times. We learn what a rhyme is, to express ourselves, to bring out what they have deep inside them. Then record it on the microphone and end with a clip. ” Here again, he discovers unsuspected talents. A real motivation to continue the adventure.
*A beatmaker is a sound maker. He is a composer of beats in the middle of hip-hop in general and rap in particular.
