Born in 1996 and raised in Paris, Calypso earned her bachelor's in film and television at La Sorbonne University in 2016.

I grew up surrounded by music and started playing the violin, then drums, from the age of four. At five, I discovered photography and quickly became passionate about capturing moments—whether on land or underwater—during my family vacations.

When I was eleven, I got my first computer and began learning video editing on my own. This creative spark led me to study film directing at ESRA, a film school in Paris, and later to pursue a cinema and television program at Sorbonne University Paris III.

Willing to improve my English, I spent a year in Australia dedicated to language study. I then moved to Canada, where I spent two years working on film sets in Vancouver, primarily as a photo retoucher specializing in actor headshots.

Today, I live in Switzerland and work as an independent filmmaker. When I'm not on set, I teach drums to children—including those with autism and other learning differences. To support them, I’ve developed a playful and inclusive teaching method, along with custom educational tools that encourage confidence and creativity.

In my free time, I also compose rap music under the name Calypop—a personal project where I explore rhythm, writing, and self-expression.
