My name is Athenais, I'm a french-algerian girl from the south of France, I lived for 6 years in the UK and now I'm back home! I'm a singer-songwriter :)

PHILOSOPHY

I don't want to get stuck in a "metro-boulot-dodo" routine and I feel like meeting people from all over the world could be a way of escaping this routine while I can't really afford to travel so much.

I always try to remember that life is not forever and that no matter what obstacles you find on your way, you should always fight for your dreams. But I feel like the more you grow up, the harder it becomes. I'm not giving up though, never ever ever ever ever! Because what's the point of life when you don't follow your dream?
