<font color="green">Jhenny: Explain us your creation process?</font><br>
WAWA: I am a complete musician and artist, I can play almost every instrument. I bring my mobile studio with me wherever I go, when I'm quiet I start to create piece by piece, I do not take the moments of others and add parts, no, I start to compose by a blank page and I add moments pieces by pieces until I have complete music, I am the origin of A to Z of my music.

<font color="green">Jhenny: What advice do you give to beginners in this job?</font><br>
WAWA: Before we thought that music was an illusory job, that we can not live with music as a profession, but now music is a respectable profession, we just have to be serious, if our fans did not let us down for 16 years means that we are serious, we respect this job, we respect our fans, when we give a concert, we give the enjoyment that the fans ask for, that's why they will always be starting every year to come to see us, if in every city and every year, our concerts are always full is by what we give all, me personally I give my body and my soul to create pleasure.

WAWA: Rarely, because in each region or city where I go, we rent a car for ease of our transport. But when I take one, I'm always well-disguised so that even the driver doesn't recognise me.

<font color="green">Jhenny: What is your best travel memory?</font><br>
WAWA: When we go to Mayotte, it's a small island, but when we organise shows it's always full and in addition we organise more than 25 performances in a month, but people are more and more numerous and it touches me a lot, because if people come back it's because they really love me, it's because they're really happy with our work.
<font color="green">Jhenny: What is your best meetingencounter with other artists?</font><br>WAWA: Young artists like Ngia [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8uACLCM3z8 Ngiah Tax], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPM6FMtezwM Basta Lion Basta], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cf6R4PM9WSs&list=PLhqAuplISKV9vHUmEjUEzdR2WM7hWW7Ps&index=1 Big MjMJ], LukoKininike[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSaLePBlww0 Liko Kininike].

<font color="green">Jhenny: If you win the lottery, what are you going to do or buy?</font><br>
WAWA: I will create a big park for children, that's what's missing on [[Nosy Be]], and I would call it "WAWA park" as wawa is a nickname that we often give to the baby, a park for children is better suited to my name WAWA.
<font color="green">Jhenny: What is your reaction approach towards the your fans?</font><br>
WAWA: With my fans I'm always ready to please them, for me my fans must always be satisfied. Even during my performances if a fan asks me to sing a song from my old albums, I will do it even if it's not part of our program, that's how I'm ready to serve my fans.

<font color="green">Jhenny: What do you like in this job? And what don't you like?</font><br>
WAWA: I love my work, thanks to that, I can feed my family, and especially the music connects me with the world. I do not do politics, but where I go, I I'm received cordially even abroad when I produce. People come in large numbers. Thanks to this job, wherever I go I am well -received. The negative side of the work is the lack of sleep that usually causes frustration and nervousness. I think that even if it's a job/pleasure, always take a day off.
<font color="green">Jhenny: Tell us about your latest strategy?</font><br>
WAWA: We stopped producing albums, we made only a few singles, for example three singles a year, because with the technology the VCD and the DVDs are not really in demand anymore, it's YouTube and Facebook that is working now.
