From the beginning of 2010 she studied jazz at the Conservatoire de Paris .

Her first album, which was released in 2016, included compositions from her standards by Herbie Hancock , Wayne Shorter , Jimmy Rowles and Duke Ellington , all with their own lyrics; she was accompanied by a trio led by pianist Olivier Hutman (with Gildas Boclé and Antoine Paganotti). Recorded with Daniel Mille , Dan Tepfer and Stéphane Guillaume (with changing line-ups), her second album, Pas de géant (French for “Giant Steps” ) was released in 2018 . With his repertoire she became a "storyteller who sets the great French legacy of chansonniers like Barbara , Gainsbourg or Brassens on her album as well as the Goldberg Variations by Johann Sebastian Bach ." She was also involved in Kyle Eastwood's album Cinematic (Jazz Village) involved.
