After studying classical piano since the age of nine, she saw Herbie Hancock for the first time when she was 14 and realized that there was nothing quite like jazz piano. Her talent was obvious and she was quickly supported with a junior talent promotion, studying jazz piano at the conservatories of Amsterdam and New York.

Her work seamlessly operates in a landscape of references where jazz piano, Rihanna, and Bernini sculptures can freely collide. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
