About Me

Classical music was my first partner. I began to play the piano when I was 5 and studyed with great Masters at the Ecole Normale in Paris, wanting to persue a classical career. Until I went to New York City and met the musicians of the School for improvisational music who converted me to improvisation and jazz. As a composer, I create music for Theater - "Titus Andronicus" directed by Simon Abkarian - "Mata Hari" with Catherine Schaub - "Danser sur Un volcan" with the Picolo Theater - "Black Out" presented by the Telluric project. As a vocalist, I am a member of "Papiers d Armenies", an Armenian and Greek music ensemble. We appeared in "Gens de passage", a live performance around Eastern Europe and Caucasian music with Bratsch, Papiers d'Armenies, Slonovski Bal, Mitsou and Denis Cuniot. Our first album has been released in 2OO6.
