Colors of Emotions

Behind the Album – How It All Began

It started on a quiet winter afternoon. Just the two of us — DJ Michael and Veronique, down in the basement office in front of the DAW, sipping something warm, talking life, music, and what it all means. We weren’t chasing trends. We were chasing truths.

Music’s always been more than sound. It’s the pulse of what we feel when the words don’t land right. That day, we asked ourselves, what if we could shape that feeling? What if we could bend tech to serve the soul?

That’s where AI came in. Not to replace us, (It's just a new tool in our toolbox) but to amplify the stories already burning in our hearts.

Colors of Emotions isn’t just an album. It’s a map of what we’ve lived, feared, hoped, and dreamed. Built with beats, stitched with feeling. Straight from the basement — straight from the heart.

Collaboration Spotlight

DJ Michael - the architect

At the core of Colors of Emotions stands DJ Michael, the driving creative force behind the album’s sound. With his unique blend of electronic textures, orchestral layers, and rhythmic energy, he transforms raw ideas into fully realized soundscapes. Every track carries his signature touch, crafting moods that rise, collide, and resolve with cinematic intensity.

His vision ensures that each song is not only heard, but felt, giving Colors of Emotions its pulse and unforgettable presence.

Véronique - heart and soul

Véronique’s voice lies at the heart of Colors of Emotions. Through her songwriting, she gives shape to the feelings we often leave unspoken, turning doubts into melody, sorrow into poetry, and resilience into rhythm.

Tracks like Echoes in My Head, Do You Believe, Hidden Pain, and Dancing in the Rain showcase her gift for weaving raw honesty into music that resonates deeply. Her words remind us that vulnerability is not weakness, but a bridge that connects us all.

Track information

"The poem, Behind the Mask, was born from shadows, from things left unsaid. The song now carries it further, lifting those words into light, where they can breathe, resonate, and belong to everyone who listens."

- Michael Wainwright,
