Tanner Hall: August 2008 Archives
Recently, pro skier and Internet blogger extraordinaire, John Symms,
caught up with Tanner Hall's good friend Cali P to talk music,
dreadlock, skiing, and The Massive. Interview by John Symms on his EXPN.com blog, eXpn eXtreme.
Where did you grow up? Where do you live now?
Blessed love. I grew up between Guadeloupe (French Caribbean Island)
and Switzerland. Right now I live [in both] Zürich and Pointe-à-Pitre.
How did you get into music? How long have you been a performer?
I got into the music because my father is a musician too. So I grew up
with all the culture vibes around me. I can remeber myself singing on
stage in Guadeloupe at 3 years old. But really professional and
worldwide for seven years now.
You've been a musical presence in the ski world for a few years. How did you get involved with skiing?
It was a very natural link-up. After a show that I had way back in
2003, Mickael Deschenaux came to visit me in a studio where I worked
and told me about the WSKI
106 film project. At that time I never knew much about the whole skiing
thing. And he asked me to record a song for his crew, the C- Crew.
Within the C-Crew there where people like Tanner, Iberg, CR,
Pollard, etc. The guys loved the song I made and it was like an anthem
for their house until the day we linked up in flesh all together and it
was just a big family from start. Now this is where we are.
