With her classical background in France as a harp player, Margot has graced the most prestigious stages worldwide, including Carnegie Hall, Wiener Musikverein, and L'Opéra Comique. Transitioning briefly through pop music, she served as the touring harp player and backing vocalist for French singer/songwriter and #1 selling artist Nolwenn Leroy, before falling in love with jazz while collaborating with the legendary saxophonist Archie Shepp. After receiving a grant and attending the prestigious Berklee College of Music, where she honed her songwriting and vocal skills, Margot took New York by storm and established herself as the Parisian sweetheart of the city. She has held residencies in hot jazz spots such as Jules Bistro and Club Bonafide, and participated in French official events with Air France Run and Library Albertine. In 2019, Margot made her highly-praised debut at New York’s prestigious Birdland with her signature show she wrote and arranged, The Edith Piaf Experience, and has since played sold out shows at renowned New York venues such as 54 Below and The Cutting Room.
