About

Acclaimed French chanteuse Noria Letts brings the verve, swing and excitement of a Parisian jazz club every time she hits the stage. 

Totally authentic with a rich soulful voice, Noria has performed in clubs across France, Canada and NYC and is now based in Melbourne.

Noria grew up in the heart of France’s Burgundy region. Having left Dijon’s
Conservatoire de Jazz, Noria was more focused on mastering the great US jazz songbook as well as the flute and tenor sax.

More recently though, Noria has shifted her focus back to her first love, French song and in particular a vibrant take on Parisian street music.

With her band The Parisians, Noria delves into classics from one the great epochs of modern music - the likes of Piaf & Brel, through the 60’s “Ye Ye” hits and some rare modern gems – and reworks them into a contemporary manouche vibe.

Noria’s repertoire includes a very popular tribute to the great Édith Piaf, with an original narration and production she scripted.

She regularly performs to sell out audiences at leading music venues such as Bird’s Basement and the Paris Cat in Melbourne and Sydney’s Foundry 616. She has headed the bill at festivals including the Bastille Day French Festival and the OZ Manouche Festival in Brisbane.

Noria was also honoured to sing La Marseillaise in front of a crowd of 50-thousand and a global TV audience before the Matildas-France international at Melbourne’s Marvel stadium.
