French singer, guitarist and composer, with a masterly voice and an undeniable born talent with the guitar, Nina Attal has conquered us since 2009 when she won 5 prizes at the ‘Tremplin National Blues sur Seine’ and started her professional music journey, working with artists like Fred Chapellier, Boney Fields or Lucky Peterson. Learning and listening, she collected from the blues clubs of Paris some of the knowledge that currently use into her own music.

Nina Attal has performed more than 500 shows. At 16 years old, the blues prodigy was considered one of the best in the field of blues laments. She has since become a ferocious funkster. Her second album Wha was recorded in New York by Philippe Devin, Jerry Barnes (a noted bass player for Chic and an important sideman on the US Black music scene) and features a powerful blend of B.B. King, Stevie Wonder and Chaka Khan all inflections in an elegant setting of tasteful Rhodes sounds and stylish guitar licks. Nina Attal’s voice sounds almost like a blues singer from Memphis or the Mississippi Delta. This impression is not true.

Her natural strength and dynamic voice has nothing to do w/ weight or age. The enigmatic singer will not hesitate to call her musicians to their aid if they fall asleep while singing on stage. At just 17, the no-holds barred prodigy won five prizes in the Blues sur Seine Festival talent search. A few months later, she recorded Urgency, her first EP. The same year, she was invited to perform at Montreal Jazz Festival. She was 19 years old when, in the wake her self-produced debut album Yellow 6/17, she won the hearts of French audiences when she made an appearance on Nagui’s Taratata television program.
