Fifi grew up in London in a family of artists, filmmakers and dancers, and takes inspiration from diverse disciplines of art for her multi-sensory approach to music and performance. She lives in Paris, and in her spare time adapts Baroque arias for unusual formations or roams around the Auvergnat mountains foraging for seasonal produce.
