It is true that of Martinican origin I was born in Paris, but we know where we come from.
Lynnsha, it’s more than 20 years of music two gold records, a platinum record and a host of collaborations with artists such as Kaysha, Passi, Jacob Desvarieux, Stomy Bugsy, WyClef, Admiral T, Jocelyne Beroard, Diams, Zaho, Craig David, Christina Milian, Brick and Lace, Slaï, Lord Kossidy, Kalash, Neg Marron, Warren, Fally Ipupa, Singuila…. And many others. If you had to make a feedback about your career what would you like to change?
Lynnsha: What I would have liked to change ... actually I liked all the moments. But what I would have liked to change is to have social media when I made my first album. Because at that time we had no contact with our audience. And the public only knew about us, from what they saw in music videos or in interviews. But in interviews you answer the questions you are asked. With social networks you have the possibility to see all the facets of an artist. And me at that time, my label and I, we were a bit like the Americans, but the French public was not ready to accept it. Me on my side as a black woman it was normal to be inspired by African American models, because they were seen more in the medias. There was Tania St Val, and Edith Lefel, but they weren't very often on TV. So, it was normal for me to try to look like Americans. There was a lag, we were seen as cold images which didn't suit, me because I know I'm not like that. I wanted to be closer to my audience so they could get to know me better. On the other hand, I haven't always made good choices in my career, I regret it a bit, but I believe, if it happened, it was mean to be like that.
Is there a goal that you haven't achieved that you are continuing to work on? What is the secret to your consistency in music? What motivates you to continue?
Lynnsha: Of course, there are some goals that I haven't achieved yet… I haven't done the Olympia yet. Of course, I've sung several times at the Olympia with the others, but I haven't done my Olympia yet. It was offered to me, but I was not yet ready at that time. For me there is a way of doing things and I would have liked to have done this Olympia as I see it in my vision. I have other dreams that I would like to realize in music but hey I keep them secret ... laughs
I don't know if we can speak of consistency in music. Well, it's true I have more than 20 years of career already, but consistency in music is difficult. As I said it is a roller coaster job. There are times when you are more exposed than others, times when some of your creations work better than others. Consistency no doubt in professionalism in the love for music. What motivates me to continue is that there are always people listening to my music
Lynnsha is first and foremost a woman, who likes to sing about love, and I'm going to try my hand in a genre that I don't always like personally, but that absolutely appeals to people who love the tabloids.
First of all, men. What attracts you to them and what repels you?
Lynnsha: what attracts me in a man is his look. Of course, I love handsome and attractive men. I love teeth, I love their look and especially their smile. A man with good teeth is very important. If your teeth are missing you have broken teeth you have to go to the dentist before you come to see me. laughs ...
I also like depth in a man. I like a man who make me laugh. All my boyfriends made me laugh… I'm not someone stressed out. My friends say I'm funny, but I'm someone one who likes to control herself, so I'm afraid to let go. And I like this man who is the opposite of me. I don't like nonchalance, but men who take life simply. So, a lot of humor, simplicity and humility… there you go. He has to elevate me, respect me, not lie to me, “je veux que tu me mentes” "I want you to lie to me" was just a song ... laughs
What is the ideal man for you? Do you think you've met him before?
Lynnsha: I kind of described the ideal man in all of this. Have I ever met the love of my life? I think yes. But, love stories last, as long as they last. I think I've already met the love of my life, but I haven't met the perfect man yet. This person who can appease you, I am passionate, my life is a series ... laughs ... but at one point in our life we no longer look for this great carnal and passionate story, we put things into perspective, we look for serenity, and what is concrete.
There was a controversy over your privacy. At a certain time, you never wanted to say who was the
