Still in his mid-twenties, this fast maturing performer has established himself as one of Britain’s most exciting vocal talents. Atila has been described as the new Frank Sinatra, combining an extraordinary voice with great charm and showmanship. The late jazz legend Sir John Dankworth predicted him a very bright future!
Atila’s voice has a huge range and his sense of pitch is impeccable, but it is his musical phrasing which seems unusually effortless and compelling. Without guile or affectation, his timing and his phrasing are both gripping and profoundly musical. Catch him before everyone else does!
