Why this name?
It's just my last name 'Dermane'
Do you play live?
Oh Yes, and it's my favourite time, I've done it hundred times, with different Bands.
My best special moment was when I played my own songs for the first time at the University, in a hall of around 3 thousend people. We were only 3 in the band, and I sang and played for 2 h 30 min non stop.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Extreamly, at least now with the help of such a website, we can still play at home and share our experience with people from all over the world, that's Great!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
It's a hope, but I don't know if my music would be considered lol, the circumstances will decide.
Band History:
Personally:
I started music at an early age, played with many bands and groups, orchesters..etc
I started composing, since I met some guys and we decided to call ourselves "the Losers" lol in 1997.
Many shows, concerts, celebrations, holidays in Morocco, and in Germany. Our adventure stopped in November 2003.
Now I am home, recording some humble compositions, hope you'll like some of them.
