They have, all, greatly influenced her singing and it is thanks to their art that she has discovered, at a young age, a secret place inside herself where a passion for singing has grown. Mademoiselle Fleur performs some of the most beautiful pieces of French music (with personal arrangements) and enjoys to do this in New York, this jazzy city that is now her home. She is available for concerts or private events with an amazing band of three musicians or in duos (piano and voice).

Txako Jones

I started singing out of mere curiosity and attraction, inspired by the music which I listened to at that time (I still listen to that kind of music). At the age of 16 I started singing with a heavy metal band with roots in the Nazarenes “Sacro”. Shortly after that, I joined a blues band called “ La Rayband”, singing with them for nearly two years. Since then, and for 13 years, I have combined the work in dance bands with activities in soul, funk, jazz, blues, rock and heavy bands. My first contact with the jazz scene was Antonio Garcia, a wellknown guitarist at the Sevillian jazz scene
