The award-winning Munich-based singer, composer and lyricist Alma Naidu was described as 'one of the most promising singers on the German scene' by the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the magazine Jazzthing praised her 'delicate, wonderfully clear voice with absolutely perfect intonation'. The renowned drummer and producer Wolfgang Haffner recognized her talent immediately; he discovered Alma for himself in 2019 and introduced her on his album "Kind of Tango". 
 Alma is the daughter of professional musicians - her mother an opera singer, her father a conductor. After studying jazz singing at the University of Music and Theater in Munich from 2016, she then spent a year at the Royal Academy of Music in London, where she studied with the renowned singer and ECM artist Norma Winstone.
 At the age of just 25, she has won the Gasteig competition, Jugend jazzt, the Kurt Maas Jazz Award, the BMW Welt Young Artist Jazz Award as well as the Bavarian Prize for Emerging Artists. In early 2022, her self-titled debut album 'Alma' (translates to 'Soul') was released, on which Alma Naidu almost exclusively presents music that she wrote and arranged herself. The twelve songs are based on a core line-up of drums (Wolfgang Haffner), bass (Claus Fischer) and keys (Simon Oslender), prominently complemented by top-class guest contributions from Nils Landgren and Dominic Miller, among others.
