Biography

Music Venue Programmer at La Place, Paris
Currently a Music Programmer at La Place, I curate line-ups and artistic experiences at
the intersection of emerging scenes and contemporary cultures, with a strong focus on
amplifying new voices, Black cultures, and women talent. My work is also rooted in a
close connection with creative scenes from West Africa and the Francophone Caribbean.
After starting my career between London and Paris as an event producer and freelance
cultural and marketing project manager, I developed a hybrid, thoughtful, and strategic
approach to programming, centered on discovery, storytelling, and cultural impact.
I have collaborated with leading brands and platforms such as Off-White, Nike, Adidas,
Jordan, Soho House, and Boiler Room. As a former radio host, I continue to use my voice
to engage communities through talks, panels, and live shows, while creating editorial
formats with strong cultural and social impact.
