About Me

My name is Cynthia, my nickname is Baggy ('cause i like baggy blue-jean). I'm a french musician (saxophonist, bassist, and 2d guitar) with an english name! I started with the alto saxophon "'cause my favourite saxophonist Maceo Parker, the king of the soul-funk...". A few years ago i decided to learn the tenor saxophon (my favourite player : Sonny Rollins, Lester Young, Pee Wee Ellis and of course Coltrane...). Why this change ? Because of the sound of the tenor sax which is more soft, sensual. Now, I play both of them which is sometimes difficult with the transpositions. For 5 years, i've been playing the bass guitar (pop, rock, reaggae, jazz...). Two years ago, i started the rythm guitar because i compose music. I play in different bands both the saxophon and bass guitar (read "Membres du groupe"). I have lots of experience both on stage and in the studio. I'm also trying to create a new band with only female musicians to compose in different styles like ska, reaggae, african music, pop-rock... In France, it's really difficult to find women musicians so if you are interested "come on girls and join me !" I'm also working on a personnal album probably instrumental. I hope to finish in the next 2 years. My mails : [email protected] / or : [email protected]

La vie en Selmer...

Pour les saxophonistes, la rolls c'est le saxophone Selmer... Une fois n'est pas coutume, faisons un grand cocorico car c'est une marque française qui tient la dragée haute sur ce splendide instrument...
