"Exquisite!"

“I was knocked out by Atila. He has the voice and the class to show the world what great music is all about."
BUDDY GRECO
Atila is the UK's best-loved swing and Rat Pack singer, simply exuding suave and style! The unrivalled authenticity of his voice and look make him a firm favourite on the private events scene, filling dancefloors with his big band's stunning horns or setting a perfect tone with smaller background lineups from duo up. Mentored by none other than Buddy Greco himself, Atila's interpretations of the American Songbook effortlessly transport the listener to that glittering era, and his caramel smooth velvet voice never fails to have audiences dancing, swinging and swooning with appreciation.
