About Me


Don't really know what to tell you, ain't the seller type. Let's just say I'm a singer trying to find her path in music. Just graduated from the Jazz Conservatory of Lausanne (Switzerland) and kinda happy about it! I had the chance to study with some amazing teachers like Susanne Abbuehl and Sandy Patton, to name a few. Currently drumming (yeah baby!), writing and working on my own projects, I was also hosting a radio show about music in 2007 and 2008. So check out "Under Jazz" (page only in french) in my top friend list! Peace and love to y'all.
