Born to musician parents, Raphaëlle grows up in the world of jazz and combines studies of music and dance in renowned conservatories in France, along with studies of Ethnomusicology in Paris Sorbonne and Nanterre University.
She gets her Jazz degree from the Nantes Conservatory and receives a grant to spend a year in the University of Montreal’s Jazz Vocal Department. She then moves to New York City and creates KrsThal, project that combines jazz, Carnatic and Japanese music traditions. In 2008 she receives a full scholarship from Wesleyan University and gets a Masters of Arts specialized in South Indian Music in 2010.
Raphaëlle has been deepening her knowledge of Carnatic music for the past 10 years in India and in the US under the tutorial of great masters such as Sarada Thota, N.Govindarajan, B.Balasubrahmaniyan and D.Nelson, and has been trained in Persian Music with Fariba Davoodi in Iran and with Babak Towhidi in Canada.
Raphaëlle Brochet records her first album at the age of 17 with Floris Nico-Bunink (Mingus, Billy Holliday) under the label Daybreak. She has since then been performing with Arnaud Fusté, Shawn Mativetsky, Alexi David, Babak Towhidi, Lionel Pezzano and many others. Her collaborations also include film directors (Amin Moghadam, Paris), theatre directors (Patrick Palmer, Montreal), and dancers (Anand Satchidanandan, US).
Raphaëlle regularly performs in the United States, Canada, France and India.
