An
original retro-jazz-vocalist with a unique “new-old” approach. “People can listen to the old records any time.
My goal is to evoke the essence of that innocent, timeless sound without forgetting the hipper, knowing, and even dark quality of
our own time.”
“This young man and this ‘old music’ are one beautiful pair!”
