Welcome to the very first episode of Connect Cast! We're so proud to launch this journey with an artist who truly embodies the spirit of creation in Tunisia: the incredible Benjemy ​This isn't just an interview; it's a deep and honest look into an artist's heart and mind. Benjemy shares his personal story, from discovering music to his crucial need for "autonomy" that pushed him into electronic production. He passionately argues against the "pretext" that you need expensive gear to start, reminding us that creativity is the only real requirement. ​We dive deep into his powerful project "Sinouj", exploring the beautiful and complex challenge of taking Tunisian heritage and making it speak to everyone, from our grandmothers to the new generation. It’s a conversation about identity, passion, and that constant, "urgent" need to create. ​We're so happy to share this with you. ​0:00 - Welcome to Connect Cast: A New Podcast ​2:46 - The Beginning: Growing Up in a Family of Music Lovers ​4:58 - Why I Chose Electronic Music (The Need for Autonomy) ​5:50 - The "No Excuses" Rule: You Don't Need Expensive Gear ​8:46 - The Secret to Surviving as an Artist in Tunisia (Diversification) ​12:34 - The Mission of "Sinouj": Reinventing Tunisian Heritage ​20:26 - The "300 Dinar" Starter Kit: How to Start Making Music Today ​24:19 - The "Urgent" Relationship Between an Artist and Creation
