BIOGRAPHY
Caroline Nin is a classic femme fatale, one who charms, intrigues and fills your imagination with a plethora of images, stories and memories through her mesmerizing personality, her captivating, rich voice and her own musical interpretations with a repertoire ranging from Edith Piaf to Liza Minnelli, Marlene Dietrich to Jacques Brel.

Caroline Nin, born in Paris, makes her debut in the late 80s at The Hollywood Savoy, a swing and jazz venue, where she quickly attracts the attention of its punters by interpreting the songs of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan. 

In the early 90s, Nin moves to London when Marc Almond asks her to perform at his thriving new Soho venue The Freedom Theatre and where she sings classic cabaret standards (Brel, Kander, Ebb & Sondheim, Weill, Brecht) applying her own intellectual eroticism.

The French Institute then chooses her to promote French culture around Britain through a series of tours during 1994-1996. She begins to turn heads globally when Vidal Sassoon’s artistic director spots her and signs her to accompany his worldwide hairdressing conventions featuring musical and cabaret shows. This is also when she first enters into an intimate relationship with Edith Piaf, singing her own adaptation of the song La Vie en Rose.

Thanks to the response of this worldwide tour, which also includes a stint at New York’s Don’t Tell Mama on 43^rd St, Nin delves even further into the tragic and joyful world of Edith Piaf. This inspires her to produce her show “Hymne A Piaf” - a smoky, jazzy, sensual and sensitive interpretation and not impersonation of Piaf’s works, including the showstoppers Milord, Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien and Padam. Since its inception the show has been presented as far as the Sydney Opera House, the Royal Festival Hall and the King’s Head Theatre in London.

The Record, New York -  “I couldn’t keep my eyes off her… Nin salutes Piaf sublimely”

At the Pleasance Theatre for the 1998 Edinburgh Festival, Nin continues to seduce, entice and reel in her audiences by winning the first edition of the “Herald Angel” for her cabaret “The Last Show” featuring Piaf, Dietrich, Minelli and Brel numbers.

The 1999 Edinburgh Festival edition, sees her at The Assembly Rooms where she weaves her red light district sly intrigue “Scarlet Stories”, a show that recreates the atmosphere of the red light districts of Amsterdam, Berlin, New-York or Paris with renditions of Irma La Douce, Liebertango, Amsterdam, Big Spender, Johnny and The One and Only You, a song Marc Almond wrote for her. She increases her ongoing reputation as the mythical torch singer with a 5 stars review written in the Scotsman newspaper.

The Scotsman - “The myth becomes reality…Magnificent… je t’aime, Caroline Nin”

The Guardian - “Nin is a classic femme fatale… a taste of intimacy with one of music's true dark angels.”

In 2001, Caroline moves back to Paris and has since been singing regularly at the famous cabaret venue Le Lido on the Champs Elysées.

 In 2002, Caroline sets foot for the first time in Australia where her second album “Scarlet Stories” is recorded live at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival. She returns the following year with “Hymne A Piaf” and meets great success. It is in 2007 that the Festival also commisions her to prepare a musical cabaret performance reflecting her fascination in the iconic performer Marlene Dietrich.

Her latest show is born :  “La Dietrich”.

That same year, “Hymn A Piaf” registers sold-out at the Sydney Opera House when it is presented alongside the world premiere of French blockbuster : La Vie en Rose.
