About Me

SF-based vocalist currently collaborating with several artists (Ambi-Sonic, Fuzzpod, Kev, Jill Shaw, Axis of Blackness & my new band, yet to be named) . I like to sing all types of music, however my focus is a hybrid of indie, electronic, soul, jazz, experimental, trip-hop, and DnB genres.
Adventurous and loyal. Fun and funny. Bedroom enthusiast. Affectionate. Erotic. I like good stories and rainy days when I can stay at home. Chaotic Safety. Dressing up and making costumes, dreaming, sleeping, scales, dissonance and resolution. I crave odd time signatures and patterns. I like to create something out of something else. Exchanging energy. Rotating plants when all the leaves are facing one direction, so they will grow evenly.Que peux-je dire qui n'a pas dit ?
