to the United States at the age of two. She sings in her native
languages: French, Italian and English, as well as in Spanish
and Portuguese. She has been influenced by such singers as Sade, Nana Mouskouri, Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Laura Nyro.

Highly acclaimed in the San Francisco Bay Area, she is well known for promoting French culture in concert throughout the U.S. and especially northern California.
