00:00This is Norway! This is my way!
00:05My way, Norway!
00:11We're from the city of Chabrot in Quebec
00:14and we met each other at about 6 and we started playing music together.
00:18After we formed the jazz band at the age of 12
00:21and we started to integrate some electronic stuff in it
00:24so we could move to more of a dancey show
00:27and it made us taste different, like funk stuff, hip-hop stuff
00:32so we just blend all of this and it became Mr. Valor after.
00:39We always listen to some funky stuff, some hip-hop, some rock.
00:44The background of jazz gives us the freedom to pass through all of these styles.
00:49It's funny to have showcases because it's always, you play half an hour, it's stressful but after it's over
01:00so you don't have the time to feel the show but it's always fun.
01:04Best city, best artist always helps to tell.
01:13It could be funny to have featuring a little boy from L.A.
01:17He's called Beck, it could be fun.
01:23In terms of music video, it's always fun to work with good friends or people that you respect
01:27so we could just give these people the total freedom and just we meet, we have a beer together
01:33and talk about the concept but most of the time we just say
01:36OK, we like your job, do whatever you want and we disapprove of it before
01:41but we don't really influence the process of making the music video.
01:46We've got a new album coming up around this next summer.
01:55It's going to be more funky, more dancey, more sunny so I can't wait to make it happen.
