Overview
About Me
I'm a French singer, still a student (perhaps it will end some day haha). I come from the Alpes so I'm not that bad on the slopes but I had to leave my mountains and moved to Paris for my studies, good place for art and culture I heard ;)
I'm really into nature, my father is a forest ranger so he's a human encyclopedia about pretty much everything's alive, it's so good to have him with you when you go hiking.
I grew up with music, my sister and I were in a pop-folk choir for many years in our little town, she played the piano and I was singing, in a big band also or simply at home.
Moving to Paris wasn't that easy because Paris can be a real bitch, like all the big cities, really hostile in one way.
After many people stole many of my bags, wallets etc I understood how careful you must be (ok I was so naive at the time) and now I know the rules who apply here I'm pretty happy. I have my tricks and since I boycott the metro and try to do everything by bike I feel really good, dangerous in this city but so much nicer!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
To live
It is pretty extraordinary, don't you think?
Teach, Learn, Share
Learn : I'm currently trying to learn how to skate =). I asked a skate for last christmas (ok I had a long board instead, they didn't really understand properly haha) but for know I'm not really that brave to go on the Paris streets... My dream is to go to La Philharmonie where I have rehearsals every week with my choir on my longboard along the canal, so hipster style :D I'm far away from that day I think.
