I was born in a musical family and so I was always surrounded by music. I started playing the violin at five years old and the piano at seven. Since 2014, I have been mastering my instrument at the Conservatoire de musique de Gatineau. During those years, I have participated in events such as: a concert in November 2016 in which students from the Conservatoire de musique de Gatineau and members of Air Cadets Squadron 51 got together to honour veterans of the Second World War, a group performance in April 2016, led by James Ehnes for David Johnston, the late Governor General of Canada, and Sharon Johnston, as well as 1000 et 1 voix with Véronic Dicaire in 2017. I have studied across the years with local artists such as: Geneviève Petit, Joan Milkson, Amélie Lamontagne, François Vallières, Ana Drobac and Alvaro Larez. Concerning recent events, I have recorded for Music and Beyond in Ottawa; I have performed in many concerts hosted by the Young String Performers Foundation (YSPF) and I have participated in the 2023 ONAC Bursary Competition last April. I just completed my Certificate of Collegial Studies at the Conservatoire and thus, I am starting in August my bachelor in music.
