I was an Hip-Hop DJ in the 90's, my nickname <strong>PRO DJ </strong>became <strong>Prodige</strong> when I decided to leave the decks for production.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
I've Been Playing Music <strong>since the end of the 80's</strong>. For those interested, I'll let you see my biography because my music career started a little bit more than 2 years ago. At this time, I decided to work for myself as a (solo) artist and <strong>make Funk music !!!</strong> I would finally be able to flourish me ...</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
My influences are : Prince, Zapp & Roger, Teddy Riley, George Clinton, Gap Band, and many others.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
What I like above all is to create and express what I feel. I have many ideas and an experience that I want to <strong>share </strong>...</p>

<p>
<strong>- My path (the one I want to talk here...)</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<u><strong>In 2014</strong></u><strong> :</strong> I recorded <strong>"More Bounce To The Ounce"</strong> with a video to pay tribute to the artists that I appreciate (really inspire me?) and to the cartoon <strong>South Park</strong>.</p>

</p>
<p>
But the reality is that it's not easy to access those artists on social networks. However, I was approved by Daft Punk, George Clinton and Nile Rodgers, which was not bad ...<a href="http://www.prodige4u.com" target="_blank"> www.prodige4u.com</a></p>

<u><strong>In 2015</strong></u> : with stars in my eyes, I tried to make an EP that contains 8 songs called<strong> "My Name is P" </strong>but barely put online. I am contacted by a mysterious Artistic Director who is retired and based in New York. He proposed me to flesh out this album into a LP so that it can be easier to sell in the United States.<strong> He teached me the codes that make funk a music</strong> appriciated by so many people.</p>

<p>
Here is the <strong>first video of this EP</strong> with a cartoon. There are other video clips that you can find on <strong>my website</strong> .</p>

<p>
This EP is a concept interpreted with <strong>Talkbox</strong> (cousin of the vocoder). Yet, I feel the need to sing with my natural voice in order to <strong>reach more people</strong>. I've been working all year for new songs with <strong>some surprising covers in addition to my compositions</strong>.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Once I completed 10 new songs, I realized that they didn't fit with the previous ones of the EP because with the support of my friends<strong> who lent me their voices</strong> for this project, my music had progressed in sound and groove.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<u><strong>In 2016</strong></u><strong> </strong>: Prodige 2.0...</p>

<p>
</p>
<p>
So, this is my<strong> first LP album</strong> and it doesn't matter for the EP that I could not promote. I will still <strong>play these songs on stage</strong>.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The industry of music has changed a lot and you have to do everything by yourself. So I really need you guys to finish this album with a good mastering and why not a little pressing to <strong>convince the world that our project deserves to exist</strong>.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
This album is highly anticipated in the US and Japan where it has found an audience on social networks. But I'd also like to make this project real<strong> in France and The World</strong> thanks to you and be able to share an unique experience on stage with you.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
I really need your help and I hope this attempt will be <strong>more than just funding</strong>.</p>
