Below is an email interview with Jenni French. All interviews are published unedited.

• Do you think things like the free Microsoft download scheme is the way forward for independent artists?

Absolutely, downloads are the way to get your music out there, it’s a must. Downloads and free plays “streaming” are a great way for people to find new music they like, you can cover a lot of ground fast. What we love about it is that it’s pure. It’s the true artist representing exactly what they are about. We’ve come across so many talented artists out there through reverbnation.com. I believe that reverbnation and similar music websites are the heart and soul of the “new” music industry.

• Which of your tracks (I think you record and produce your own stuff) are you most pleased with?

Our song, 911 Remix, everything about it turned out well. But the new songs we’re recording are something special, so we’ll post those within a few weeks.

• How would you describe your music?

We try to be as original as possible, which is hard since it’s all been done before. We’re going for a smooth, relaxing sound that has an irresistible beat, and a bit of sexy haze to it.

• 4. Do you have any releases planned for the near future?

Yes, we’re collaborating with three other artists on reverbnation and recording this week.

• What other project are/have you been involved in?

Toby has been involved for several years with both sound engineering and recording live on tour and in the studio. With my experience in the film business, working with digital effects combined with my love for music and singing, I became fascinated with studio recording. Naturally our music gives us a joint creative outlet. First we started recording by experimenting in Cubase, then we got into Protools and Reason but now we’ve discovered Logic. Presently, we’re creating new dance music to release next month.
