Martinique is one of the lead singers of the band Sandy Mouche.
Where Sandy Mouche flirts with the French Riviera, fairies & elves, Martinique embraces the Miami Vice 80s without compromise.
“I love synth pad sounds and I often write songs by singing to a silky smooth pad that im playing. I love music that makes me want to drive a car fast, sit on a bus, dance or run. I guess you can say music that moves me. When I was a little boy I spent all summers in France with my relatives. I got quite a lot of French music flowing through my ears back then and I dig it up when I need to go back there for inspiration. When im writing music for myself as Martinique however I look elsewhere. Series on TV from the 80s is a big inspiration. Miami Vice (just love the beautiful sad melodies bathing in smooth synth pads. Anxiety is just around the corner.) Knight Rider, Air Wolf, V, Falcon Crest, North & South, The Persuaders. For me they are filled with memories and both happy and sad moments in my life. I use the feeling I get from them and their music when I write music as Martinique. Sometimes I try to do a whole different production but somehow I always end up with a beat and a pad =)”
“Martinique” is a very new project and the music has never been played live before. The music is unsigned.

Hej, How are things going? Are you working hard on New Sandy Mouche album or resting? Yesterday I had a meeting with a friend and had to tell her everthing about the concert in Warsaw as she was curious to know everything about it because she had seen my photos on facebook. All the memories suddenly became so vivid and fresh. Love, Kamila

Hej Martinigue, I don't have my message but I can remember more or less what I wanted to ask you about. I browsed the Internet in search for some photos from your performance with Sandy Mouche in Poland in Police and I found none. Do you have any pictures from your stay there? Can you write something about your visit? Could I learn where your family from Poland comes from? Sorry if I'm bothering you too much. Greetings from Kamila. Say hello to Helena.
Hej Martinique! )) Thack sa mycket for adding me to your friends list!) Good luck with your new Sandy Mouche CD, can't wait to listen to it! Have you already decided how to name the album? ;)))) Kind regards from St:Petersburg, Ilya.
