Singer. Musician. Songwriter. Composer.
My musical journey began at seven, when I started piano lessons and singing in the choir. It was my mother’s dream for me to become a great classical musician, and I embraced it wholeheartedly. I trained in opera, developing a 3.5-octave mezzo-soprano voice and a solid classical foundation. I also worked in Music Theatre, singing in opera choirs. But as I grew, I began to feel the pull of something different—an urge to break beyond tradition. The worlds of jazz, blues, and rock called to me, offering the freedom and raw emotion I was craving.
Rock music, in particular, has always held a special place in my heart. My father, a drummer in a rock band in Germany, introduced me to its powerful rhythms, and I quickly fell in love with the energy it exudes. While opera taught me discipline, it was in rock and blues where I truly found my voice—raw, unrestrained, and brimming with emotion.
Today, I refuse to be confined by genre. I let the music lead me, allowing each piece to evolve naturally, fueled by emotion and authenticity. Whether composing, performing, or collaborating, my music remains a reflection of truth—intuitive, heartfelt, and unapologetically my own.
Blues first ma man, blues first.
Let’s play some blues ma man.
Here’s ma treasures.
