About Me

CURRENT MISSION

make music, meet people & travel

ABOUT ME

I come from Romania, moved to germany where I continued highschool, then austria where I studied a bit of jazz singing but quit because of my longing for traveling so after that I went to sweden where i got stuck two and a half years volunteering. Last winter I visited India and after that I was building Celtic houses in archaeological village museums in Austria. It's always an intense learning experience from so much moving around and I'm very grateful for all the wonderful people I met everywhere I went!

My current mission is to visit India again and meet other musicians to collaborate with!

I'm very used to being spontaneous and trying to support myself with playing music wherever I go.. playing on the street and playing gigs wherever I can. It helps a lot that I am very social and love interaction with different people.. learning about their life, experiences. I'm open for deep conversations on any theme and I love being creative together with others! oh and I love to laugh!

If you're wondering about the music, here's a recent link of me and some friends playing a tribute to Leonard Cohen
