Desi Boome is a fresh talent from Paris who is making waves in the U.K. We are impressed with his talent and caught up with the artist to find out moe about his music and thoughts on the industry. Check out our exclusive interview.

DHH: With so much to discuss, let’s start with Paris. The city of love and fashion has harbored a passion for Hip-Hop in you! Explain to us how that happened.
Desi Boome: To start, every big city has their suburbs, they have their good and bad sides, I live in Parisian suburb and like you know, there is an urban culture, we follow the trends. I grew up around the Hip-Hop movement and in a family where two of my brothers pen French rap; actually one of my brothers is rapping behind me, lol. I did French rap, but knowing that in France we never brought a touch of Desi in this kind of music, I wanted to innovate a new genre to differentiate myself as a Desi rapper. I created a different concept by introducing myself at the first Punjabi French rapper in Paris.

DHH: Is there a group of friends you have in France that share the same musical passions as you?
Desi Boome: Effectively the people around me like my friends and my family follow and share my passion.

DHH: Is there a thriving Desi music scene in France? We have met you and know Abbas Hasan and Sat Singh are two other acts for your neck of the woods.
Desi Boome: It’s under development, the Desi culture develops with difficulty so I decided to innovate my music in order to bring the culture that spreads in England in France. We know that the main crowd is in the UK.

DHH: What made you decide to take your love for Hip-Hop to a public and widespread platform?
Desi Boome: It’s simple, I would love to represent the French Desi community.

DHH: We caught footage of you in London this summer. How was that trip?

DHH: Do you see an expanding talent pool in this scene or a lot of acts with no substance?
Desi Boome: Music is not only a passion but when we talk about the industry, it revolves around business so I think that if there is person became known we necessarily do the maximum for that person to break in this game.
