This songwriter, composer and singer studied music in Bamako, Mali. A series of exchange programmes gave her the opportunity to play live around the world, before winning the 2012 talent contest, "Les Talents de la Cité" at the Festival sur le Niger in Ségou, under the patronage of Cheick Tidiane Seck. She quickly went on to produce a first album inspired by traditional instruments.
