Syrian-Canadian crooner Matt Mardini recently released the music video for his original song, Melody. The song was written by Valerie Carpentier, the first-ever winner of LaVoix in 2014. Carpentier wrote the song following a personal conversation she shared with Mardini about life, love, and unconditional support.
Mardini says, “She is one of the most talented artists who is Quebecoise. Her future is, without a doubt, going to be amazing. She’s the next Celine Dion. I was lucky to meet Valerie in 2014, shortly after she won the LaVoix, and we became friends.”
Mardini explains, “In 2024, during our conversation, Melody, my daughter, was recently born, and I was telling Valerie how Melody changed my life. This is when the idea started. At the same conversation, I told Valerie, ‘Let’s do another attempt, let’s try another song. But this time, it’s going to be a love song, but from a different angle.’ We started our conversation and turned it into this beautiful love song. And we exchanged a couple of ideas, and then we came up with the final version.”
Mardini shares that his favourite part of the Melody video was, “where I stand and am observing the practice. It resonates the fact that you need to be there. You need to be present to provide unconditional support. The way I watch that makes me feel like, yeah, this is the real part of the love.”
Mardini has played on some pretty big stages, locally and internationally.
When asked about some of the highlights of his career, he says, “Obviously, Bell Center was one of the highlights, but I can’t say there is one highlight because there are many milestones. Concerts in Montreal, starting from the Rialto to Leonardo da Vinci, all of them are very important. So, combined concerts in Montreal are a milestone. Dubai, of course, it’s a big milestone. And lastly, it’s Melody, the original song, which is very important.”
The artist explains, “The industry is shifting very fast. Like 10 years ago, it was totally different. It was more about signing with big record labels and producers. Now you can be a self-producer, and you can own your own channel, and voila, you can do whatever you want.”
