Jessy and Dragos knew each other since their fourth year of high school. Back then (mid-2000’s), Dragos had somewhat of a background in classical piano and Jessy mastered the dark and esoteric art of the metal guitar solist.
In 2012, while finishing his master’s degree in audio postproduction at Laval University, Dragos spent most of his days and sleeping hours at the “LARC” studio working on his solo projects. He randomly met Jessy again, who was finishing his bachelor degree in Jazz guitar, in one of the faculty’s hallways and talked about doing a French-Touch / Italo-Disco track together. Some weeks later, they did just that. And it worked out so well that they decided to extend their collaboration to a whole project where many singers such as Odile Marmet-Rochefort, Gabrielle Shonk, Helena Deland and Geoffroy Sauvé, would be involved.
Between 2012 and 2016, all of Jessy’s and Dragos’ releases were made as part of Dragos’ masters and (dropped) PhD studies in order to gain access to the LARC’s infrastructure and to develop a unique sound.
Emma was a fortuitous encounter. In 2015 a mutual friend presented her to Dragos through a video posted over the Internet. She was casually singing and playing the guitar around a campfire with some of her friends. Emma’s voice was different, being less clear, more grainy and fragile with a mysterious twist that caught their attention. They reached her and tried recording one song called “Out in myself”, which turned to be one of the band’s easiest to record.
Jessy and Dragos then invited her to join them on live shows with Odile at the beginning of 2015. The womans' voices blended wonderfully together and the band got lots of positive feedback from the experience. Emma has been part of Men I Trust since then.
With their second album “Headroom", Men I Trust truly became a trio.

Men I Trust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Just like a river's flow never ends" gentle
How long?
Go slow on me
No longer young
Hold on to thee
I'm where I belong
Hold that we're born
In truth
Go slow on me
Slow on me
Go slow on me
Slow on me
Be my love
Once more
Tears and joys together
Tweeds and stones, our past, our tether
Be my love
Once more
Springs and hail, we weather
Gentle
How long?
Go slow on me
No longer young
Hold on to thee
I'm where I belong
Go slow on me
Hold that we're born
In truth
Go slow on me
Slow on me
Go slow on me
Slow on me
Go slow on me
Slow on me
Go slow on me
Slow on me

I am in a very blessed position. My family is rich, I am from Germany. I get everything I want. But each time I watch this video I realize how poor I am. I want to travel a country like this, too. And I feel the fucking vibe.
It is maybe the hardest thing to achieve in life. To find a group like this and explore the world together.
You can always travel alone and with money. But you cant buy the stuff they have.
You simply can not.
This is the best, richest life you can ever achieve.
Greetings from Germany

Here are the song lyrics:
Slow, we all slowly move
Just like a river's flow
Never ends gentle
How long
Go slow on me
No longer young
Hold on to thee
I'm where I belong
Go slow on me
Hold that we're bond
In truth
Go slow on me
Slow on me
Go slow on me
Slow on me
Be my love once more
Tears and joys together
Tweeds and stones
Our past our tether
Be my love once more
Springs and hail we weather
Gentle
How long
Go slow on me
No longer young
Hold on to thee
I'm where I belong
Go slow on me
Hold that we're bond
In truth
Go slow on me
Slow on me
Go slow on me
Slow on me
Go slow on me
Slow on me
Go slow on me
Slow on me
Good night, everyone!
