ABOUT

Ethno-jazz minimalist multiinstrumentalist. I love building up from minimalistic sound, co-improvising, playing off the natural acoustics. Voice is my main and most versatile instrument, I mix styles and genres fluently and sing in many languages. I write music, too.

I moved to Oxford in 2024 and am looking for my music “family” to practice, listen, perform, tour and record with. I am neurodivergent, so it is not easy to spend enough time socialising to find collabs offline.

Formal stuff: I studied and taught at Berklee College of Music; graduated from the Pacific Morthwest Film Scoring program & have PhD in neurorehabilitative music therapy.
