Singing my own songs and hearing the crowd respond makes me feel like we’re united and share a common feeling.”

“My stage performances are influenced by many artists. When I am opening for singers, afterwards, I get to watch their performance from backstage and analyze their movements and how they interact with the audience. It’s a great experience! I am also influenced by artists I admire, such as Angèle, Dua Lipa, Charlotte Cardin, Lana del Ray…”

4. Do you take part in live concerts?

“I’m nearing the end of my first festival tour this summer, and I love it! I opened for various artists in Quebec and Europe during a few shows last year, and since then, I have come to realize that being on stage is magical. The love a crowd can give you is unparalleled! I’m thrilled to have so many shows coming up!”
