Says, «Welcome to my solo adventure page. An adventure in which many musical influences and many collaborations will mingle to give birth to a first album entitled Clair Obscur scheduled for March 2022».

«From a very young age, I have been passionate about music and above all, fascinated by the emotions it can provide. Both to others and to myself.

«Trained in violin and drums, I have always wanted to create, collaborate with other artists and produce works as varied as my influences. Naturally, I ended up taking up the guitar. We had been hovering around her and I for years».

«My influence?

«All these influences nourish my music. Not to mention the fantastic people with whom I regularly have the opportunity to work. Lucie on cello, Charlie on guitar, Emilie, Marine, Maïté, Charlotte on vocals, Simon and Lucas on drums, Julien on bass, Maud on graphics… From a very young age, I have been passionate about music and above all, fascinated by the emotions it can provide. Both to others and to myself. Joy, the desire to dance, to move your head,… but also sadness, melancholy, nostalgia… No other artistic form manages to move me as much as music. Goosebumps, tears, laughter, chills, …»
