I am self-taught. I grew up in a very diverse musical family and strongly influenced by the artists of the great movement of the 60s but also by classical music.

My family passed on this passion for music to me when I was a child.

I was interested in promoting just causes and my thirst for freedom led me to perform for many years in the Paris metro. There I met eclectic music artists from all over the world. I decided to sing to denounce injustice. I lived among Africans from Cameroon, Togo, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Senegal and other African countries in a neighborhood of Paris.

My passion also involves engaging in humanist actions for economic development projects. I had supported a humanist association project aimed at creating a silk production company (silkworms) in Vietnam (for economic development). This consisted of writing a small singing play and supervising a group of teenage artists on stage.

Along the way, I sang with various musical groups. More and more attracted to the use of the voice as a musical instrument in its own right (this also defines me as a musician and not as a “singer” – an often overused term). I used improvisation, harmony and timbre rather than words, in a horn section of a Herbie Hancock cover band using only my voice as a wind instrument.

Rich from all these experiences, I continue to work for causes and seek to participate in solidarity movements with other artists. In addition to entertaining, I remain passionate about meeting other musicians from around the world to grow, savor, share and enrich each other's knowledge. My dream is to be able to create and perform online with artists from all over the world.

My voice is an authentic expression of my emotions, soft and strong at the same time. This path and this particular vibration I offer it to you today to share with you...
