Marthélène's first performance was at the age of three, when she performed Frère Jacques on the piano. It must've been an addictive experience (or her parents recognised a genuine talent, or both), for she studied cello before the age of ten. In her music, you can hear a classical influence, but understated, not full-on orchestral. Not sure if she ever pursued a musical career (motherhood might've ended that), still, she has a self-produced cd out with four gentle, well-crafted song that suit her clear, tad melancholical voice. The jazzy Sous UPDATE; Marthélène writes: "As a matter of fact, I still play the cello, in a philharmonic orchestra, and my career as an author/composer/interpreter has just began! I will make my first album in a couple of months. It will be on i-tunes etc from february on." Looking forward to that!
