So before we start, could you introduce yourself to us ?
Of course ! My name is Klavier Gavin, most of people know me as a rockstar and the face of the famous rock group "The Gavinners". We unfortunately broke up as a group and I am now living as a solo artist.
Was it difficult making the change from group to solo artist ?
Ja, indeed, but when times are rough like this I always think of my fans who support me a lot. If I'm here, it's thanks to them so I have to give all my might to make them happy. I also have the people dear to me who give me the strength to go on and go back to doing what I love: music.

do you have any exciting news to share ?
(laugh) yeah I do ! I have planned an album, a concert and my manager and I are working to create new merch. I have been really busy these days, hence my break from socials and public outings, but I'm back with a lot of fun projects. The album will come out soon so stay tuned ! And the concert isn't for at least some months.
What are you most looking forward to?
I am looking forward to the fan meet and greet, which is in less than a month actually... it's crazy how time fly, ja ? In this meet and greet, fans will get the opportunity to meet me in real life and give me presents ! I also made some presents for them, as a way to thank them for the support. They'll also be the first to have access to the new merch.
What do these new merch will look like ?
Well I can't give you the entire description, it would be spoiling the fun, ja ? (laugh) Well, I am allowed to say that the collection will be composed of shorts, t-shirts, flip-flops, an agenda, pencil and... ah yeah and an eraser. Lucky fans will be able to grasp their hands on the limited edition Klavier bike !
Let's look back to the new song you released not too long ago, as a preview of your new album coming soon entitled "Raging flame". Can you tell us a bit about the song and its meaning ?
Ja, sure ! "Raging Flame" was entirely written, composed and produced by me, to the dismay of my manager (laugh), she didn't have a saying in this song but she did like the outcome. The song is a rock-punk/ballad, and an ode to simple love. The last lyric "Du bist der Funke, der mein geschundenes Herz verbrennt." can be translated in english as "You are the spark that burns my battered heart.", showing that love can be a motivation and a bandaid for when your heart just..hurts !
To wrap up this interview, do you have final words you'd like to share ?
I do ! I want to thank my fans for always sticking with me, even when I'm not active, can't wait to meet some of you at the meet and greet ! I also want to thank a dear friend for helping me with some of the lyrics of the album, even though I know they aren't a fan of my music (laugh), their insight on some of the lyrics I made were really helpful. To conclude, i wish you a good day and let's wish we meet again soon !
