Biotopp is an exceptional Music Producer from France. His passion for raising awareness of environmental issues has become a central focus in his life. An idealist at heart he uses his creativity to compose melodic and energetic electronic music while using emotions to raise awareness.

Q: What direction do you see your music taking in the next few years?

A: As you probably know, I’m committed to environmental causes, so I’ll continue producing music and videos that reflect my values to try and raise awareness among as many people as possible. Art in genreral is a powerful tool for this. I’d also like to collaborate with other artists, but above all, performing in front of an audience will be my priority in 2026. I’ve already had some proposals, but I’m not quite ready yet because live performance is a different discipline that requires a lot of dedication, materials and honestly for the moment, I lack the time. In addition, I’m working on a soundtrack project for a short film that should be out this year. It’s a direction I really enjoy because it plays with visuals, characters, emotions and sensitivity.

Q: How do you balance staying true to your artistic vision while meeting industry expectations?

A: That’s an excellent question, because the music industry is a very particular and demanding environment, riddled with scams, which I’ve experienced time and again. I make music out of passion, without any financial motivation or particular need. Therefore, I feel free to create my own tracks, at my own pace, according to the inspiration of the moment, and thus without any pressure or obligation to follow trends.

Q: What role does technology, or new music tools play in your creative process?

A: The only times I’ve used AI were to find synonyms or phrases for a song, and also to create music videos. It was fun at first because new, but I think people are getting a bit tired of seeing AI everywhere, so I stopped. As for music, I don’t use any AI, just guitars, synthesizers, and Ableton Live.

Q: Is there a particular song of yours that holds special meaning to you? Why

A: The song “No Place to Hide” is particularly close to my heart because it was a collaboration with the excellent singer Clayra, and it denounces climate inaction and our dependence on fossil fuels. Its rhythm was inspired by some amazing trip-hop tracks by Massive Attack, which are also very politically commited. Since I had spent a lot of time creating the song and the music video (without AI), and also wanting to thank the singer, I thought I was doing the right thing by paying for promotion. Unfortunately, I was scammed by a playlist placement agency that put it in bot playlists, and as a result, the song was removed from all platforms. It’s only available today on SoundCloud and YouTube. Like I said, the music industry can be a jungle, especially if you’re a bit gullible like me…

Q: What do you think is the most misunderstood aspect of being a musician?

A: Rather than being misunderstood, the hardest thing for a musician who wants to make a living from their passion is getting heard. With streaming platforms, the competition is fierce, and thousands of tracks are added every day. To be noticed by Spotify, for example, and placed in playlists, you have to pay for advertising campaigns and follow the rules of the algorithms; making advertisings even if it’s not your skills otherwise, you have no chance of even being noticed. Another difficulty is that the music industry loves to label you with a specific genre to categorize you into genres and subgenres, which isn’t easy when your music falls outside of established styles.
