About
me
We always find ourselves on a stage.
Whenever we transmit from there, with honesty, the audience leaves with a newfound resonance after the show.
Before singing, I was a doctor.
Now, I heal from the stage, which grants me the opportunity to communicate and stir emotions.
That’s my relationship with singing: it provokes me, tempts me, challenges me, transports me. Singing strips me bare. It plunges me into the void, then gathers my pieces and flings them into the amphitheatre.
With my voice, I share who I am, and that’s how I connect.
