Born in France, Solène showed a great interest in the arts, and particularly music, from a young age.

After being offered an electric bass for her fourteenth birthday, she began studying music at a local music school. It was however, during her musicology undergraduate studies in Angers, France, that she first discovered jazz and decided to dedicate herself to the art form. After a successful first year of jazz studies, she chose the upright bass as her main instrument, with a desire to get closer to the traditional sound of jazz.

Admitted to Paris Regional Conservatory (CRR) in 2018, she had the opportunity to make her debut on the vibrant Parisian jazz scene. Two years later, graduating with both a Classical and a Jazz Music Diploma she set her sights on the New World.

She graduated with a Master's Degree from the Manhattan School of Music in 2022, studying there with musicians such as Phil Markowitz, Buster Williams and Rogerio Boccato, and is now performing in and around the New York City area.
