The Süddeutsche Zeitung describes her as "one of the greatest singing talents in the republic." What better thing can happen to a young, up-and-coming jazz talent than to be discovered by a successful musician during a jam session and then hired by him? That's exactly what happened when Alma Naidu sang a touching version of "My funny Valentine" in the early morning hours of the Burghausen Jazz Week in 2019 and thrilled drummer Wolfgang Haffner with it. Since then, she has been featured on his album and played numerous concerts with him. Jazz critics call her "one of the most promising singers on the German scene" and praise her "delicate" voice. Naidu grew up surrounded by classical singing - her mother is a chamber singer. Piano and violin lessons, later dance and musical singing were part of Alma Naidu's wide-ranging musical socialization, as were guitar playing and a penchant for the hard rock band "Metallica". She presents a sensitive mixture of her own floating, poetic compositions. Haunting songwriter jazz. By the way, Alma means "soul" - you can hear it in every note. In autumn 2027 she will present her new album with us at Nica.
