In its own way, Diam’s has brilliantly left its mark on the world of music. But in 2012 after having chained the successes, the interpreter of “Heart of the bomb” decides to stop his career to everyone’s surprise. Thanks to religion, the artist has found a balance. In the past – for several months – Vitaa’s sidekick sank to the chagrin of those close to him and his admirers. After stepping away from the spotlight, here she is back to present her documentary called “Salam” based on her life.
In the midst of a promotional tour for this new project, Mélanie Georgiades, her real name, gave an exclusive interview to our colleagues from Parisian. Her long desert crossing is now behind her. “I was crazy” she confessed. “I lost my mind. I was shot by drugs that turned me off and then disinhibited me. When I find myself in a psychiatric hospital, I can only talk to a shrink for twenty minutes a day, whereas I want to talk for five hours! I feel like I’ve come back from death. I should have been dead”.
“I see everything that happens here through my mother…”
Unvarnished, the main interested party also opened up about her daily life away from France. “I wanted elsewhere. I lived in the Yvelines but sometimes being veiled in France is not easy”, revealed the wife of Faouzi Tarkhani. “I was in a small town. But you don’t just live in your village. One moment my children had to go to school”.
The opportunity for Diam’s to discuss the rise of the Rassemblement National in France. “I no longer have a fixed gaze on France”, confessed the artist philosophically. “I’m more interested in what the world is like. I see everything that happens here through my mother, who tells me that it’s very anxiety-provoking at the moment. Afterwards I was happy to see people relieved that the extremes had not passed. I am a spectator of something that does not surprise me, since I felt that she would go far in politics unfortunately”.
