About / Biography

I am a professional violinist and lyric singer based in Paris, performing live music for weddings, private events, corporate functions, hotel receptions, and cultural evenings.

I perform as:

• Solo violin (ceremony, cocktail hour, background music)
• Violin and voice
• Lyric singing (opera arias, sacred music, art songs)
• Tailored programs, including collaborations with other musicians and artists on request

My repertoire spans classical music, opera, romantic works, film music, pop, rock, bossa nova, and selected contemporary arrangements. Programs can move across genres or focus on a specific style depending on the atmosphere you want to create.

I adapt each performance to the setting — from subtle background music to a featured artistic moment.

I am also an actress. As an aside, I hold a PhD in astrophysics.

Based in Paris and available for travel.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

For solo violin or voice, I require a performance space of approximately 2x2 meters. If amplification is needed, I require access to a standard power outlet. For larger ensemble configurations, requirements will be discussed in advance depending on instrumentation.


What information do you require about a venue?

I require clear access instructions, performance timing, indoor/outdoor details, and whether amplification restrictions or sound limiters are in place.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I can perform acoustically for ceremonies and intimate settings. Amplification can be arranged if required.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

I do not provide DJ services, but I can recommend collaborators if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

I have performed in large concert settings for audiences of several thousand people, as well as on television and live broadcast productions. Those experiences were important milestones in my career.

That said, some of the most meaningful performances have been intimate weddings where I performed original music for close friends. Standing in front of people I care about and creating a personal musical moment is something I value deeply.


What's your favourite type of event?

Weddings and curated private events. They allow space for musical depth while remaining personal and emotionally meaningful.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I have over 20 years of performance experience across Chile, Switzerland, the United States and France. My background includes opera, zarzuela, chamber music, musical theatre and corporate events. I began performing professionally at a young age and developed an international career across both concert and private event settings.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

My musical background is rooted in classical tradition, so composers such as Vivaldi and Ravel have had a strong influence on me. Ravel’s Boléro remains one of my favourite works — its gradual intensity and orchestral colour are timeless.

As a singer, I deeply admire Cecilia Bartoli for her technical precision and expressive clarity. I am also inspired by powerful contemporary voices such as Whitney Houston, Sia, and Chris Cornell — artists who combine strength, vulnerability and authenticity in their performances.

I draw inspiration from music across genres — from baroque and opera to rock and pop — and I enjoy bringing that versatility into my work.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I usually arrive 60–90 minutes before the performance to set up and coordinate with the venue. Typical formats include ceremony music (20–60 minutes), 1 x 60-minute set, or 2 x 45-minute sets for receptions and events. Longer or custom formats can be arranged depending on the occasion.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, I am happy to perform outdoors provided there is protection from rain and wind, and a stable, level surface. For amplified performances, access to power nearby is required.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Clients are welcome to select pieces from my repertoire. I can also prepare specific requested songs with advance notice, particularly for important moments such as ceremony entrances or first dances.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Professional, versatile, expressive, and reliable. Clients often highlight the atmosphere created and the attention to detail in adapting the music to their event.
