Born into a family of music lovers, Caloé was influenced by classical music and song from a very young age. She discovered herself as a musician, with the violin, from the age of 4. Very quickly, improvisation will become part of her language: she takes her instrument out of its box as soon as the opportunity arises, to accompany a text from her poet mother or a guitarist who passes by. She ended up discovering jazz as a teenager and never left it.
In Paris, she enrolled in musicology at the Sorbonne, but also in lyric singing at the Ecole Normale, and in jazz violin class with Pierre Blanchard. At the same time, she mastered jazz vocals and met the musicians of the Hot Sugar Band, a swing dance group with whom she toured France and Europe. Little by little, she will leave the violin aside to devote herself fully to her new instrument, the voice.

She then decides to go on a six-month trip to the other side of the ocean: one month in New York, two in New Orleans, before staying three months in Brazil, where she will visit the major cradle cities of Samba and Bossa Nova.
