INTERVIEW IN FRENCH at the end / ENTRETIEN EN FRANÇAIS à la fin
Music2Deal: Can you tell us a little more about your background ?
Robert: I’ve been in the music business for over 30 years. I was one of the founders of the very first Cameroonian boy’s band, Star System, and then I was lucky enough to benefit from professional training at some top schools like SAWI in Switzerland or the University of Lyon for a master’s degree in artist career management, which enabled me to redirect my professional career by going into the administration of music projects. Thanks to this training, I set up an agency in Switzerland that specialised in fundraising for festivals and launched the fundraising system in Switzerland in 2003 / 2004. I then went on to work for LMD Prod and Camus Prod and wrote two books on the performing arts. To date, I am the owner and CEO of Beutara.
Music2Deal: What opportunities do you see in Music2Deal ?
Robert: Personally, I see a lot of possibilities that Music2Deal offers to entertainment professionals in particular. Culture in general. With nowadays, more than 15000 professionals present and coming from different horizons of the show such as the publishers, the producers, the journalists, the experts, the agents but better, the professionals coming from different countries, the French-speaking professionals of Central and West Africa will have in their procession, a tool, a network at hand with this possibility not only to create their own network but especially to contact easily, the professionals present for synergies, collaborations, and so on…
Music2Deal: What would be essential for African professionals to have a greater presence ?
Robert: First of all, it’s important to point out that Music2Deal offers enormous opportunities here for African professionals. Better than LinkedIn, which will enable independent artists to develop their careers and labels to increase their sales. Now it’s all a question of the integration offer put forward by the CEO, which will enable as many people as possible to take part.
Music2Deal: Pouvez-vous nous dire un peu plus sur votre parcours ?
Robert: Je suis dans le domaine de la musique depuis plus de 30 ans. Je fais partie des créateurs du tout premier boy’s band camerounais, le Star System et ensuite, j’ai eu cette chance de bénéficier des formations professionnelles dans certaines grandes écoles comme le SAWI en Suisse ou l’Université de Lyon pour un master en gestion de carrières d’artistes qui m’ont permis de de réorienter ma carrière professionnelle en rentrant dans l’administration des projets du domaine de la musique. Grâce à ces formations, j’ai créé une agence en suisse qui était spécialisée dans la recherche de financement pour les festivals, lancer le système de fundraising dans les années 2003 / 2004 en Suisse ensuite, je suis passé par LMD Prod ou Camus Prod et ecris deux ouvrages sur le spectacle vivant. Je suis à ce jour, propriétaire et CEO de la société Beutara
Music2Deal: Quelles possibilités voyez-vous dans Music2Deal?

Music2Deal: Qu’est ce qui serait indispensable pour que les professionnels africains soient plus présents ?
Robert: Déjà, il est important de préciser que Music2Deal offre ici aux professionnels africains, des opportunités énormes. Mieux que LinkedIn, qui permettra de développer pour les artistes indépendants, leur carrière et pour les labels, leur chiffre d’affaires.
