I started writing Know Me Better in June 2024, right after listening to Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. I was deeply inspired by its simple yet catchy melodies, but more importantly, by the way she tells a story or conveys a message through her songs. I wanted to create something in that vein, so I sat down at the piano, and the melody came to me surprisingly fast. The lyrics followed just as naturally—Know Me Better felt like an instinctive expression.

With this song, I wanted to explore the theme of appearances and superficiality, especially as portrayed on social media. I wanted to question what it truly means to be understood… But from the first sketches to a fully realized track, the journey was long, and it took the collaboration of several amazing talents to bring it to life.

Once the song was written and produced (by the end of August), I started looking for the perfect singer—and that’s when I found Jaime Deraz. I can’t thank her enough for lending her incredible talent and giving the song its true voice.

Then, after recording Jaime’s stunning vocals, my friend Freddie from MTM Productions stepped in to professionally mix and master the track.

Jaime and Freddie, an enormous THANK YOU to both of you for bringing so much to this project—it wouldn’t have been the same without you!

Know Me Better (Feat. Jaime Deraz)

J’aborde l’amour sous toutes ses facettes : sa beauté, ses épreuves et ses paradoxes. Pour moi, l’amour est une énergie universelle, mais la quête de l’amour romantique tel qu’on l’idéalise détruit son essence même, fragilise le couple et déstabilise la famille. À travers des sonorités variées (latines, pop, rap, R&B) et une touche de nostalgie, j’aborde des thèmes comme la dépression, l’amour de soi, la tromperie ou la perte des sentiments, sans détour ni tabou. Avec ma voix douce, je porte un message sincère : accompagner ceux qui se reconnaissent dans ces douleurs et rappeler que l’amour, dans sa vérité, est un chemin vers soi et les autres.

War broke our lives to BEFORE and AFTER its start... Russian aggression has no boundaries, it's Universal. Our house happened to be on the war front line so our family had to leave behind our home and escape just to save our lives. We had spent 8 days in hell being under Russian missiles and bombs...
 In my "previous" life I used to create music and still have got some unreleased works.
 All the tracks are played, recorded and mixed on Yamaha Clavinova CVP505 without using any software.
Now I have no piano, no more chance to record music. The only sense of life is to survive. If you're Russian please don't follow me. We have nothing in common anymore. We'll never forgive you this disgusting bloody war against Ukrainian children. Each of you is GUILTY.

electronic music and keyboard player. 🌟 From an early age, I grew up in the world of sounds, and my heart always beat to the rhythm of rock and roll. Today I create songs in trance and techno styles, exploring the endless possibilities of synthesizers. My favorite instruments are: Yamaha MODX8 - a powerful synthesizer that opens the door to countless sounds. Roland Gaia 2 – perfect for creative experiments. Bass Station – giving my songs depth and character. I invite you to follow my musical journey! 🎶✨ #ElectronicMusic #Trance #Techno #Keyboardist #YamahaMODX8 #RolandGaia2 #BassStation
