What inspires your music?

I believe it is life itself that inspires me, my positive or negative life experiences give me creativity and continuous resources to write music

How did you start your recording career?

I started studying music at the age of 8, I graduated from the Conservatory in jazz singing and I recently completed an internship at the Paris Conservatory. At the same time, besides being a songwriter, I am also the author for other artists such as Annalisa Scarrone (Italian pop star) and recently co-author of "Recuerdo", the latest single by Ricky Martin.

I love writing music both for myself and for others

How did you come up with your single? 

"Brown Eyes" is a song I wrote in Paris, produced by DimRaaw, a French multi-instrumental producer.

This song represents for me an artistic rebirth, I have always made jazz music until now, Brown Eyes would describe it as a breath of fresh air.

What is your genre of music?

I don't like to define myself in a single musical genre, I like jazz, bossa nova, trap, soul, RnB and I sing whatever I want

Who are your influences? 

Certainly the great masters of jazz have greatly influenced me such as Miles Davis, Chet Baker, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Anita O'Day ... but also Elis Regina, Egberto Gismonti in Brazilian music.

To talk about more modern artists I really like Cory Henry, Anderson Paak, Moonchild, Masego, Daniel Caesar

How do you define success?

Success for me is having people who enjoy my music and feel an integral part of it, who feel the same emotions that I feel when I sing

What can we expect from you in 2020? 

2020 for me has been and continues to be, albeit the difficult global moment, a year full of surprises.
I hadn't planned to write a song for Ricky Martin, or to release an unreleased song of mine and instead, here they are! And there are still other surprises so..."stay tuned"!
