SONGWRITER
I started to write when I was a teenager, but I got into songwriting after I recorded my first single. My mom and lyricist, Lilas Klif, has been the one who gave me the confidence to start to write my own songs, we co-wrote some of them, and I have been blessed to have the trust of the record labels such as Polydor, Wagram, Coca-Cola Music... to support my journey as a songwriter.

Slightly twisted, rather well written nursery rhymes that her pop-rock melodies carry effectively.
