Corentin Moutet talked to the ATP Website about his passion for music. The French Next Gen player displayed his music talent for rapping on his social media account in the past few weeks. Moutet showed his skills as a talented piano player.
“I take music as therapy because it’s nice to write and get rid of everything you are feeling inside, both good and bad. I like the connection with people on social media as well. Even if you don’t speak the same language, you can speak to a lot of people through music. The days can be long on site, so I wanted to do something else. I am usually writing, singing or rapping most of the time now. I try to write every day about my feelings or anything else that comes to end. The first song I put on Instagram is one of the more personal songs I have about myself, so it was tough to put on social media.On the other side, I wanted to share how i feel and show that your social status or where you come from does not matter. We all feel the same way”, said Moutet.
Moutet received a lot of appreciation from tennis fans.
“I am really happy because I received a lot of nice messages from around the world, including from players and coaches”.
Moutet wrote a song every day during the first week of lockdown.
“It was a mix of emotions. The first song I put on Instagram is one of the more personal songs I have about myself, so it was tough to put on social media, but on the other side I wanted to share how I feel and show that your social status or where you come from does not matter. We all feel the same way”.
Moutet hopes to continue writing songs when the pandemic will be over.
“I will keep sharing my music even when the Tour resumes. I am not sure if I will keep doing it on my tennis account or a different one, but it’s something I will continue with and I hope to do good things there as well”.
