ABOUT
Photgraphy credits by: Sophia Benett
Born and raised in the beautiful city of Geneva, Switzerland, music has always been a part of my life. My journey began with five years of solfège and rhythmique training at the Jaques-Dalcroze Institute, followed by four years of playing the violin starting at the age of eight. However, it was my discovery of drums that truly ignited my passion for music.
I spent seven years studying and learning at the Drums and Percussions Center, where I later became a teacher. It was during this time that I was selected to compete in the Roland V-Drum World Championship 2, where I won first place in Switzerland and ranked in the top 8 finalists worldwide in Frankfurt, Germany in 2014.
After returning to Geneva, I continued my studies while playing with various bands, including Groovah, a Latin-influenced big band that blends various styles of music. I later pursued my Bachelor's degree in Popular Music Performance at the British and Irish Modern Music Institute (BIMM) in London.
With a love for music production, I also pursued the Advanced Diploma in Music Production and Sound Engineering at the prestigious Abbey Road Institute, located next to the world-renowned Abbey Road Studios. After completing my studies, I returned to Geneva during the Covid pandemic, where I currently share two professionally equipped studios with my associates at Groovah.
As an experienced drummer, music producer, and sound engineer, I am currently working on different projects and collaborating with my bands and with clients.
With a passion for creating my own music, I am excited to announce the release of and my first album in February 2024 featuring a lot of great artists from London and my hometown.
