A unique talent with a remarkable voice, the German singer, composer and lyricist Alma Naidu is an artist such as one rarely finds, Jazzthing magazine praised her "delicate, wonderfully clear voice with absolutely perfect intonation".

Renowned drummer and producer Wolfgang Haffner recognised her talent immediately; he discovered Alma for himself in 2019 and featured the Munich native on his album 'Kind of Tango'. "When I heard Alma for the first time at a jam session in early 2019, I was immediately inspired by her musicality and her way of performing on stage," says Haffner. " Alma is a very special talent with a strong musical voice of her own."

With Alma now comes the promising debut on the Leopard Records label. Recorded in Bonn during the pandemic (November 2020, March and April 2021) and produced by Haffner with guests Dominic Miller, Nils Landgren, Simon Oslender and others, this debut work of the 25-year-old Naidu could just as well bear the title: A Star Is Born.
