Born in France, my early life was enriched by diverse cultural experiences in Malaysia and Vietnam, shaping my artistic perspective in profound ways. Now residing in Montreal, I am deeply engaged in my master’s studies in research-creation at the Université de Montréal, mentored by the esteemed Myriam Boucher.

My creative process is a thoughtful construction of systems that intertwine sound and visuals, shaping narratives in unique ways. This approach reflects in the interplay between discomfort and tranquility in my compositions, where I am fascinated by the mysterious effects of sound immersion on the human body and its influence on our perceptual habits. This unique approach has led to several accolades in the field of electroacoustic music:

- In 2021, I was honored with the Prix Marcelle-Deschênes by the Université de Montréal.

- I received honorable mentions at international competitions such as MusicaNova in Czechoslovakia and the Destellos Foundation in Argentina in 2022.

- My work won the acousmatic category at the MA/IN 2022 competition in Italy.

- I am a proud finalist for the Prix Russolo 2023.

- My compositions have also been featured by the RMN Classical label in London.

In addition to my artistic endeavors, I am a teaching assistant in Acoustic and Electroacoustic Composition, sharing my passion and expertise with emerging artists. I also serve as the secretary of the Canadian Electroacoustic Community (CEC), contributing to the growth and evolution of the electroacoustic music scene.

My performances at events such as the Sound/Image festival in London and the Akousma Festival in Montreal showcase my commitment to creating immersive audiovisual experiences. As an artist, my goal is to both evoke and challenge, continuously exploring the unspoken language of sound and its profound impact on the human experience.
