It all part of growing up lyrics8/2/2023 ![]() ![]() She spent her preteen years living downtown with her mother, who is French-Italian, and her father, who is French-Spanish (and there’s some Moroccan on his side, too.) They filled her days with notes of music of all types from around the world, jazz, opera, and classic rock. There’s so much music out there, you know? And with our job, what’s so cool is we get to immerse ourselves globally into all these different cultures.” Given Caillet’s history, we can’t think of a better person for the task.Ĭaillet’s social profiles list Paris as her hometown, but she was born in Manhattan. “A dream of mine would be to actually go to physically different countries and work with local artists, bring a little rig, post up and just record. “Every country has their own heartbeat, has their own rhythm, has their own way of developing structures of songs, has their own way with timbres - I just really wanted to explore that,” she shares with palpable enthusiasm.
