·1 hr 26 min·5 clips

Martin Solveig's daughter Alma, terrified on stage in front of 60,000 people, whispers 'Papa, I'm really scared' during his final concert.

Pauline Laigneau hosts a special episode with Martin Solveig and his wife Léa Dassonville, focusing on the intersection of professional success and personal life. Martin explains his decision to stop performing live, a choice matured over years and finalized after the COVID-19 pandemic, with his last concert at Les Vieilles Charrues festival in 2025. He describes the emotional moment when his daughter Alma unexpectedly joined him on stage in front of 60,000 people. Léa shares how they navigated his intense touring schedule—up to 150 shows per year early in his career—and adjusted after having children, reducing dates to prioritize family time. The couple discusses their 'deals' or explicit agreements in their relationship, such as not sharing family intimacy on social media. Martin criticizes social media algorithms for prioritizing divisive content over artistic announcements, noting how platforms like Instagram have changed the music industry's focus to follower counts. Léa reveals her career transition from corporate marketing to creative direction, supported by Martin's advice to overcome impostor syndrome. Martin details his current project, Alma Studio, an audio storytelling platform for children designed to limit screen time, which has reached 2 million hours of listening. He argues audio promotes serotonin (long-term happiness) over dopamine (immediate pleasure) from video. The conversation covers their communication style, past challenges like Martin's brief acting aspirations, and lessons from failures, including Léa's early management struggles. They reflect on beauty, curiosity, and changing perspectives, such as Léa's revised view on stay-at-home mothers. The episode blends personal anecdotes, professional insights, and philosophical musings on creativity and partnership.
