"She has a natural talent"
-Bob Stoloff, Helsinki

I combine composition, improvisation and my poems. As I enjoy strong rhythms, modes and honest, yet poetic lyrics. I also believe that music is the meeting point when words are not enough. I am always exploring  the possibilities of voice, as well as different instrumental layers. If one must put a label on it, maybe contemporary jazz is closest to my inner journey of expression and exploration, carefully chosen colors, layers of grooves and spontaine bursts. The beauty of music is found through connection and possibilities of collaboration.


Sincerely,
