Meet the Act
Used to work in I.T and have master in economics ...yeah I know ! :-) then I realized that I wanted to be an Artist since forever but my family didn't let me. So when I turned 30 I resigned for the IT job, divorced the hubby (who was a really nice guy actually :) and stared a career in acting and music. I ended up moving from Paris to NYC for my acting carrier and after few years I got drifted to the music scene as a singer and then a musician (guitar). I got a master in Jazz performance from Queens College. I now combine my music skills with may acting skills for my cabaret shows and inter ... action with the audience . Improvisation is the key. Loving it.
