The bassist in her group is from Reunion Island who brings in his own sounds and she tells us that the rest of the musicians merge to create a unique sound. This former local church singer has come a long way with her personal album ever since she began recording at the tender age of three. She has also worked with different international artistes such as 3 Canal, Machel Montano and Rupee.
Currently in India, she has performed at music festivals in Bengaluru and Puducherry. “This is my first trip here; it feels like homecoming to me. I got a chance to listen to the local music at the festivals and I love the rhythms. You feel like dancing. I am also working out a collaboration with an Indian artiste,” she informs us.
She is currently wrapping up another album, which will have a lot of Soul influences. As for today’s performance in the city, she promises an energetic vibe that will showcase her original music packed in with a lot of Caribbean and Soul influences.
