However, it was during her adolescence that her interest in music literally exploded. Mostly influenced by English pop music bands, she began to play the the bass guitar, started to sing and joined local groups .

She also performed afro-contemporary dance in Irène Tassembedo’s company “Ébène” (Burkina Faso).
Flo Comment immersed herself in traditional music thanks to her travels (mostly African countries) and musical encounters. Little by little her music, both inspired and individual in style, took on new tones and rhythms.

Together they interpret her songs, creating a world music, mostly sung in english and french with an afro-indian touch using kalimba, guitars, tablas, sarangi, flute, bass and percussions. They regularily perform in India and France.
In 2006 her Guruji calling her « Flokhansahab » asks her to back her on stage (harmonium and backing vocals) . She gets her diplôma in Indian ckassical vocal music (SMB Mumbai) in 2007.
Back to Paris in 2007, Flo Comment starts to teach indian classical vocal focusing on indian vocal techniques, and sound yoga.
