She considers music to be her perpetual companion; her life feeds and informs her love for it and vice-versa. This love, coupled with her immense sense of wonder and curiosity, as well as her accolades, breathe a unique and distinctly personal touch to every collaboration, performance, and project which she is involved with. And, as a result, her verve and dynamism shine. Her most recent album, ORIGIN, was released in 2016. FLAME followed in late 2017. The EP "Trois" was released in December 2018.
