Before you go on any further, let me tell you a little about my story of how I got into music.

For almost 20 years I have been singing and interpreting songs on stage. Of all of these years spent on stage, in the studio, on the road and from all of the people I have met, the friends I have made, I was left with the feeling of conviction. A knowing that singing is my reason to live.

Five years ago, that passion became my profession. Artistic choices had to be made and directions had to be taken. Instead of being the leader of a band, I leaned towards becoming a creator of ambiance.

First of all, to serve creatively those who are listening to me.

But also to serve through my interpretation those who have so inspired me throughout the years : George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Oscar Hammerstein, Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, Sammy Cahn, Jimmy Van Heusen, Oscar Levant, Dorothy Fields, Gus Kahn, Frederick Loewe, Johnny Mercer like so many others. These masters of the 20th century have become timeless and so very present dating from the Golden Age of Broadway all the way to our very own digital television screens today.

Of course, I dedicate my art to creating an atmosphere, a place of joy for one night. And I will make no compromise. Which is why I have decided to collaborate with different pianists so as to offer you the most intimate musical duet possible.

For me, music is nothing more than a love story, a story of meeting. So let us meet before any event planned so that your dream day can become reality.

And may this website be an open door to our meeting!
