How discovered:<\/strong>
\nIn my French city home: I have been asked in the street, in my home town Lyon, if I wanted to be a model. It was in the end of 2014.<\/p>\n

What are you listening to at the moment?<\/strong>
\n\u2019m always listening to French rap\u2026 At the moment I love so much Damso and the new album of Orelsan. I still also listening to my favorite songs and groups like FUN., OASIS, ELIAS, FUTURE, Kendrick LAMAR\u2026<\/p>\n

What were you doing before modeling?<\/strong>

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019d have my start-up in Inbound Marketing (the idea is still in my mind).\u00a0<\/p>\n

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong>
\nSpending my time reading about\u00a0quantum physics\u2026 I usually hide the scientific magazines I am subscribed to\u2026<\/p>\n

Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong>

What’s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong>
\nLyon is the best city of France and Paris is hiding this! We have also the best gastronomic French cuisine.<\/p>\n

Which brand would you really love to model for?<\/strong>
\nC\u00e9line<\/p>\n

Place you would love to visit:<\/strong>
\nNext stop is Laos<\/p>\n
