From back seat drummin' to multi-instrumental musical storytelling Music has been part of my life since my birth, both parents being musically inclined and teaching us how to sing, to play the recorder, to whistle, to hear harmonies, to feel the rhythm… One of my earliest memories of musicality was with my sister Franziska: we were 6 and 7 years old, and we’d grab pots and pans, their metal lids, and wooden spoons, and go play music in the basement together with these improvised drum kits! Also as kids, we invented a little percussion sequence together in a car ride, in the back seats of the family van. We were definitely on this path already, not knowing that this growing passion for music would become very central and incredibly meaningful. It took a beautiful twist as soon as I moved into the city of Montreal. I started gliding through events and parties where jams would happen… This was probably one of the most important aspects of my 20s! Then, one thing led to another, I came closer and closer to the music industry, I picked up some stage and performance experience, I serendipitously joined different groups of artists; Kumpa’nia the batucada, Gypsy Kumbia Orchestra, Les Mains Tendres, Singin’ Rendez-vous, Zeugma - a percussive dance company… and more… which led me to create my own solo show, my own music, carry my own medicine and perform as a one-woman band, sharing stories and melodies in unique performances that I call my multi-instrumental “Musical Storytelling”.
