Singer. Dancer. Performer.
ME
I am an Artist
As a young artist, I am very interested in interdisciplinary forms of expression and I truly believe that classical music needs to become a popular art form accessible to everyone.
In my performances I make space for creativity and take the freedom to play with social and artistic topics that are precious to me. I like to thematise the polarity between different forms of dance, classical singing and visual elements.
AGE
27
BASED IN
Basel, Switzerland
SINGER
As a singer, I have a wide repertoire ranging from Baroque to Contemporary with a special love for the Lied art form.
The most important thing to me when I sing is to create a shared experience with the audience.
VOICE
Soprano
ENSEMBLE
The Zurich Chamber Singers
DANCER
Je suis danseuse
As a dancer, I have a classical and contemporary background, and I specialise in various African dance styles along with the Jamaican dance Dancehall. Most of my choreographies are a combination of all these dances, respecting the origins of each culture embedded within them.
The beauty of dance for me is how it allows us to step into a world devoid of words yet filled with so much more.
DANCE STYLES
Dancehall | Contemporary | African dances (Traditional styles, Coupé Decalé, Ndombolo & Azonto)
