With a musical training that is both complete and mixed: classical training (piano, music theory) for more than 10 years, chorister in the Youth Choir of the Royal Opéra de la Monnaie, jazz piano at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, Margaux leads several projects at once.
She founded the PINTO quartet in 2012 and offers bittersweet, delicate, luminous, endearing jazz. The group won the Public Prize at the Brussels Jazz Marathon competition in 2014. PINTO closed its monthly residency at the Sounds Jazz Club with critical and public success at the Mithra Jazz festival in Liège in 2015. Margaux also composed the music for the feature film ” Les Liberterres” (released in Brussels in summer 2015).
In 2016, she received a grant from the Fondazione Siena Jazz to participate in the Siena Jazz International Summer Workshop with, among others, David Binney, Ben Wendel, Stefano Battaglia, Jeff Ballard, Matt Penman.
