Performing at the Place de la Concorde in Paris for the Victory Concert. before an audience of 300.000 people.

Intimate gatherings where music and atmosphere become one.

Music found me at 12, through my aunt, a close friend of drummer Paco Séry, who took me to the clubs and introduced me to Miles, Coltrane, and Billie Holiday. Billie became my compass.

At 16, after losing my mother, I decided to sing seriously. I joined the Claude Bolling Big Band, spent over six years on stage, then formed my own quintet and recorded my first album. In 2009, I became the first French artist signed to Verve Records / Universal Music.

I have since released three albums featuring Roy Hargrove, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Robert Glasper, and performed at major festivals across Europe, Asia, and the Americas — from the Montreal Jazz Festival to Tokyo, Hong Kong, and London. I am a laureate of the FACE Foundation and the Prix SACEM.

Clients are welcome to share their preferences and we will do our best to accommodate specific requests. We are happy to discuss the programme in advance to ensure the music is perfectly suited to the occasion.

Previous clients most commonly describe my performances as deeply moving and unforgettable. As one client wrote: “You set the tone in the room — in the entire house — filled it with joy, love, music. Your voice is like a beautiful songbird, your smile and soul carry it far and wide. The gathering would not have been the same without you.”

Yes. We work closely with each client to curate a programme that suits the mood, tone and spirit of their event.
