ABOUT

As a composer, singer and drummer, I have been living in Bern for the past five years.

I was born in France in December 1996 and moved to Leipzig in 1997. This has had a lasting linguistic impact on me. That's why, in addition to music, I also work in poetry and theatre.

I moved to Bern to study in 2020 and graduated with an M.A. in Contemporary Composition in September 2023. Since then I have been working as a freelance artist.

My artistic work is not entirely straightforward. I oscillate back and forth between pop music and experimental new music - and I'm also interested in climate justice and politics, which doesn't always manifest itself musically. But the basis and common ground of all my work is following current events and placing myself as an artist in society.

And a small penchant for theatre.
