Billie Holiday ( Lady Day ) was born in Philadelphia, on april 7th 1915.
She was an american jazz singer and songwriter.
She claimed that she never sang a note, even though people wanted her to. Holiday was a seminal influence on jazz and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by
jazz instrumentalists, pioneered e new way of manipulating, phrasing and tempo.
Above all she was admired for her deeply personal and intimate approach to singing.
All of my artworks are inspired by weathered walls with posters, peeling paint and all kinds of things in dilapidation.
I try to create something new, something beautiful with these elements.
