I am a singer and songwriter, particularly interested in the great American Songbook and swing/Broadway: I can sing and have a gift for emotional, slightly ironic but melancholy interpretations of the standards we all know, and many lesser known classics. I also enjoy singing in other languages, particularly the world of French chanson but also European songs from the postwar jet-set period and Scandinavian folk songs.
