https://manuchevalier.com/YoutubeInstagram BioManu Chevalier is a multi-instrumentalist, performer, songwriter and producer fromMarseille, France with a wealth of knowledge and love for all kinds of music. His latestrelease, which features vocalist Lumina B, sits comfortably in the disco/pop/funk lane.Titled “I'm Alright,” the track is designed to get people dancing but the lyrics tell adeeper story.The track “I'm Alright” went through some transformations in its creative process andManu is proud of the final result. He was a student at a songwriting academy in Londonand naturally, was tasked with writing a song. Several mentors at this academy havemultiple accolades in the music world and they gave Manu direct feedback. However,some changes had to be made before the song was officially released.“Originally, the song sounded like ‘Levitating' by Dua Lipa. So I made several changesand adjustments, which was a multistep process.” he said.While Manu does sing on the demo version of the song, he knew he wanted a femalevocalist on the final version and he came across Lumina B who loved the song. Hervocals on the song enhance the uplifting atmosphere of the song and the multilayeredlyrics. .Manu Chevalier plays formerly both tenor and alto sax as well as the keyboard. Butironically, the saxophone heard on “I'm Alright” is a MIDI sax sounding keyboard thatManu plays for artistic or ethical reasons.Manu's musical background includes jazz and bossa nova and he is no stranger to thejoy that comes from performing music live.“I love communicating with the audience as I perform. I often left the stage and wouldwalk down the aisles, playing directly in front of the audience. I loved enjoying theirenergy, dancing and happiness.” he said.Manu's experience with playing with music live enhanced his love for doing surprisingthings with the audience. In addition to leaving the stage, he also enjoyed doing newarrangements and versions of songs or adding his own solo parts to covers his bandwas doing. With a musical ear that was trained from his older sisters showing him aplethora of music growing up, he grew to have an appreciation for all genres frommultiple decades.“From listening to all of these artists and genres, I began to form melodies in my ownhead. At that age, I didn't realize I was composing. I kept listening to more and moreartists and began to seek out artists on my own too.” he said.Manu's musical foundation led him to creating all kinds of tracks in his career rangingfrom tracks like the disco/pop/funk of “I'm Alright” to soul, R&B, jazz, reggae,bossanova.One of his biggest musical collaborations includes a remix that featured rapperAlonestar, who is Ed Sheeran's cousin, Snoop Dogg and uncredited (for legal reasons)vocals from Ed Sheeran himself. He also has worked with vocalists and songwriters likePaul Statham (Dido, Kylie Minogue), Morris Pleasure (Michael Jackson , Earth Windand Fire) who were also belonging to his mentors at the songwriting academy and alsosome songwriters/artists like Tamra Hayden.Manu has plans for the future like reworking and rereleasing some of his earlier trackslike “Get On The Dance Floor.” He will also release new music that will continue toshowcase a plethora of genres and elements that will get listeners up and ready to havea good time.“I'm Alright” by Manu Chevalier featuring Lumina B is available on streaming servicesand for download.

In determining how best the legal profession should move forward at a time of voluminous technological change, it is worth reflecting on how the music industry shifted at the start of the internet. There are key lessons, one GC says, about disruption and service delivery. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Telstra general counsel Andrew De Celis about how the music industry pivoted when the internet became mainstream, whether legal processes and service delivery methods need to be rebuilt from the ground up, the increasing importance of holistic service offerings, the displacement of stakeholders in the value chain, choke points to be resolved, shifting to more advisory work, how he's looking to lead his team right now, and how lawyers can and should view the music industry's evolution.

That became the daily routine for thousands of artists who were already writing songs, recording music, booking shows, selling merch, and trying to keep their creative lives alive. http://www.makingascene.org
