My name is Lea Centauri. I've been singing since I was 4 years old, and have studied singing and voice my whole life. I'm a Mezzo Soprano and Jazz is my music of choice to sing. I have lived and sang and taught in Paris, France for several years. My first students were French. I also spent a year teaching vocal technique at Bilgi University in Istanbul, Turkey. Most of my vocal experience has been in foreign countries. I have sung all over France, including Cannes.
