Lucky Rose is a French-Canadian dance-pop duo signed to Ultra Music and riding out the pandemic in the small Quebec town of Shawinigan after decamping from Montreal – have been using their lockdown-time wisely. We had the opportunity to talk with Lucky Rose in an interview about their career, journey in the music industry.

Interview;

1. Can you tell us a story about what brought you to this specific career path?

Answer:  I think it might be the fact that there was always music playing in my parents house, none of my parents are musicians but both are huge fan of music so i grew up listening to a lot of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Elton John and of course Celine Dion (we’re French Canadian haha). Also the fact that they never forced me in any particular career path but instead  they’ve always been supportive of my choice to pursue a music career!

2. Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you started this career?

Answer: That’s not an easy one..

3. Can you share a story about the funniest mistake you made when you were first starting? Can you tell us what lesson you learned from that? 

Answer: Vince: When i first started i was a producer i didn’t know how to Dj at all, when the first track i released (at the time Marc was not part of the project) started to play on radio all across Canada and was charting on Billboard i got a gig at the biggest festival in Quebec called FEQ. I thought it was not a big deal and I could learn how to DJ in no more than a week… I was wrong! Long story short I asked a Dj friend to help me and join me on stage to do a b2b set. Don’t underestimate the work behind other stuff.

4. What are some of the most interesting or exciting projects you are working on now?

Answer: We are working on a great song with another producer called ‘’Lewis Thompson’’. He worked on a lot of big dance records like ‘’joel corry – head & heart’’. Can’t wait to share this one with the world.

5. Who are some of the most interesting people you have interacted with? What was that like? Do you have any stories?

Answer:  We Don’t

6. Which tips would you recommend to your colleagues in your industry to help them to thrive and not “burn out”?

Answer:  Don’t forget to take some time off of music every day to think about other stuff you’re interested in. Also, eating healthy and exercising can help a lot.

You have been blessed with success in a career path that can be challenging. Do you have any words of advice for others who may want to embark on this career path, but seem daunted by the prospect of failure? 

Answer:  If you believe in yourself, everything is possible. You have to work hard and make sacrifices, but you will achieve your dream. It won’t be easy and you might hit a couple walls but at the end of the day if you love what you do and you learn from your mistakes and previous failures you’ll get there!

8. Can you share with our readers any self-care routines, practices, or treatments that you do to help your body, mind, or heart to thrive? Kindly share a story or an example for each.

answer:  5 to 6 times a week we either workout or go for a run for a minimum of 30 minutes up to an hour. This routine helps our body, mind and our creativity. Also, make sure you get enough sleep and take vitamins D if you can’t get enough Sun during the day!

9. Can you please give us your favorite  “Life Lesson Quote”? Can you share how that was relevant to you in your life? 

Answer:  ‘’Short cuts make long delays’’ you need to work hard everyday to achieve something that you really want. There is no magic formula in the world to put you where you want to be, you only need to put a lot of time and energy in it.

10. None of us are able to achieve success without some help along the way. Is there a particular person who you are grateful towards who helped get you to where you are? Can you share a story about that?

Answer:  Gary Salzman, he is the first manager to trust and see the potential in us. We only met him once  in person, unfortunately he passed away last year, but we keep good memories from him. He was such a great guy and it was one of the best nights of my life. He had a lot of experience in the music industry and that night he shared all that with us, it was a magical moment. Also, a very special mention to Asim “Awesome” Awan at Ultra who believed in the project from day one and still supports it to this day!!

11. You are a person of enormous influence. If you could start a movement that would bring the most amount of good to the most amount of people, what would that be? You never know what your idea can trigger.

Answer:  We would love to start a movement about the importance of good health (to eat well and to workout). We would love to create a program to help people with this. This is a very important subject for both of us.

12. We are very blessed that some of the biggest names in Business, VC funding, Sports, and Entertainment read this column. Is there a person in the world, or in the US with whom you would love to have a private breakfast or lunch, and why? He or she might see this.

Answer:  We would love to meet Oliver Sykes from the UK band ‘’Bring Me The Horizon’’. We really love his creativity and their music. It would be amazing to talk with him about his vision of music and of life.
