Next to being a judge on Drag Race Belgique<\/a>, Mustii is a multidisciplinary artist. You will be able to see the actor in Hippolyte Leibovici<\/a> and Michiel Blanchart<\/a>‘s next movies. You can also listen to his last album “It’s happening now<\/a>” or on stage at “Les Nuits Bota<\/a>” on May 7th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell us a bit about yourself. What has been your journey?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My name is Thomas Mustin (Mustii is my stage name and the name of my musical project, it’s simply a derivation of my family name), I’ve been living in Brussels for a long time but I studied acting at the I.A.D in Louvain la Neuve. I have always dreamed of being an actor since I was a child. I never wanted to do anything else since the first shock I had on stage during a theater class my parents signed me up for because I was a particularly shy child, not very comfortable socially\u2026 But paradoxically, the stage was a trigger, a revelation, and a therapy. Since I was 7\/8 years old, I knew I wanted to make it my job. I finished my studies at the I.A.D in 2012 and since then I have had the chance to vary the roles between theater, television, and cinema. When I left school I played Benvolio in a bilingual “Romeo and Juliet” directed by Yves Beaunesne alongside famous Flemish actors like Fran\u00e7ois Beukelaers and Evelien Bosmans among others\u2026 It was my first big theater tour in France, Flanders, and Wallonia. Still in the theater and more recently, I played the role of Hamlet between 2019 and 2022, directed by Emmanuel Dekoninck. It was a great experience because it is a wonderful role and so complex for an actor, it is a kind of grail. Moreover, the live music was an integral part of the staging, it was a relatively “rock” version of the play. On television, my first big experience was the series “La Tr\u00eave” (“the break”) (season 1, RTBF\/Netflix\/France 2) which was a great success and beneficial for the world of Belgian series. After I played various roles on TV; I was able to play Patrick Dils on France 2 alongside Mathilde Seigner. The TV movie tells the story of one of the most important French miscarriages of justice, and this role was a highlight for me. For the cinema, I played in the period film “L’\u00c9change des Princesses” directed by Marc Dugain for which I was lucky enough to win a Magritte for best-emerging actor in 2019, which reinforced the idea that I should continue to dig into this path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next to this, music became more and more important. In the beginning, I was just doing it alone in my student kot with my synthesizers. Then, little by little, it became obvious and I created my first rock band. I created my solo project MUSTII to master my ideas and desires. I’ve been singing since I was a kid. I was immersed in my father’s vinyl collection (Lou Reed, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones). As a teenager, the discovery of David Bowie’s entire repertoire instantly became an inspiration that still feeds me every day. I claim multidisciplinarity (like drag queens) and exchanges between different artistic forms. Theater and cinema inspire me in my music. I hate labels and categories. I prefer to create bridges. I think you can do mainstream as well as indie\/alternative. I’m at a stage where I don’t want to have to choose. Choosing is giving up and I don’t want to give up anything. I want to taste everything, try everything as long as I stay honest with myself, and take pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
