Faby Medina Sing Swing

She began dancing at the age of 5 at her local conservatory, a discipline she would practice for more than twenty years, including one at the Rick Odums International Jazz Dance Center. She tried several instruments such as the piano, violin, and flute before finally choosing classical singing at the age of 14. At 16, she learned her craft by joining one of the most prestigious Parisian gospel choirs of the time, the “Gospel Chords Singers”. Doors opened and she went on to enchant concert halls and festivals, and to accompany artists.

At 20, she fully entered the professional world by joining Jérôme Savary’s troupe in Bertolt Brecht’s play “The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui” starring Guy Bedos, where she expressed her talents as a singer and dancer and discovered theater, which became her second passion. It was the beginning of initial encounters with jazz, gospel, and variety musicians, singers from all walks of life, actors, and directors, and from these encounters arose groups, ensembles, and projects through which Faby gained all her experience.

Musical comedies, concerts, albums, commercials, features, music videos, short films, Faby found herself alongside top French and international artists such as Brigitte, M, Tribal Jam, Michael Bolton, Guillaume Canet, Laurent Voulzy, Gérald De Palmas, Kelly Roland, Rod Stewart, Indochine, Thiéfaine, Tina Arena, Céline Dion, Jessie Norman, Cunnie Williams, Garou, IAM, NTM, Didier Lockwood, Alain Jean-Marie, Marc Laferrière, Amel Bent, Micky Green, Dick Annegarn, and many others.

Faby Médina is also a songwriter for film and television, including the single “Femme” from the soundtrack of the film “Yamakasi”, a Luc Besson production.

But what Faby is most passionate about is jazz, the music she has always listened to. She studied piano and vocals at the Bill Evans Piano Academy. In 2001, she had a major encounter with a giant of jazz, Claude Bolling, who brought her into her own as a jazz singer and finally allowed her to blossom in this music. For about fifteen years, she has been the female voice of the “Claude Bolling Big Band”, with which she enchants tours, prestigious concerts, and jazz festivals.

After journeying through these different musical landscapes, Faby today presents her new project of original compositions. A stroll between swing, bebop, and pop with a touch of soul in her voice, Faby writes her own story with her debut album “Following Love”.
