She began classical piano at age 7 and continued her studies at the regional conservatory. A singer-songwriter, composer, and arranger, the pianist has developed her own unique sound and musical language. She then moved to Paris to further her knowledge of jazz and contemporary music. Passionate about composition, she founded the Selkies project in 2014, a project where she showcases her arranging talents and with which she has performed at major festivals, such as Jazz à Vienne. She won the SACEM prize at the Crest Jazz Vocal competition (2017) as well as the Cosmo Jazz Festival competition (2018) organized by André Manoukian. In 2023, she joined the “Génération Spedidam” program and recorded her new album. Paris Réunion (2025), which highlights her "love story between Paris where I live and Réunion, the source, where I was born.".
