Mathilde Vendramin, french cellist and singer, loves to laugh.

She laughed especially at the age of 12 when her mother told her in tears that she had backed up over her very first cello, crushing it into a thousand pieces with her father's red Peugeot 306.
She laughed, and knew that she would have to create in order to maintain her own sanity for the rest of her life...
After studying musicology at the Université de Strasbourg and the cello at the Conservatoire de Strasbourg, she continued her cello studies at the Kunst Universität Graz in Austria, where she has been living for past 4 years.
Her versatility allows her to perform in a lot of music fields such as improvised music, experimental music, cabaret or classical music. Also interested in theater and performance, she won the first prize for the best performance at the San Marino New Music Project's competition in 2018.
As a self-taught singer, she has recently been accepted at the Hans Eisler University in Berlin to study jazz singing at the Jazz-Institut-Berlin from October 2021.
