Nini POULAIN is an artist who expresses herself with great authenticity and energy on stage. She and her accordion become one. She approaches her instrument with such energy and originality that we rediscover the piano with straps in a different light. With her punk look, she even dares to cover rap (NTM, I AM)!
"The common thread is my emotions. I talk about my weaknesses, my vulnerability, without shame, without filter. I dream of a day when everyone is in their rightful place, fulfilling their desires, without judgement. I feel like I'm doing my hummingbird bit for a better world to come.
"I have a very punk and rock attitude and style on stage, but not in my songs. We're totally in French chanson here, we even call it neo-French chanson. People like the difference, and in fact I use a lot of humour on stage, a lot of self-mockery. My black fishnet tights are always torn, but that happened naturally, I didn't look for anything: there are always little nails on an accordion, so I always tore them. These days I buy new ones and rip them myself! By the way, I'm a fan of Mylène Farmer, and I always wear black... Punk is also a state of mind, in the sense that I go for it, I don't listen too much to my fears!
Nini POULAIN, French neo-songwriter, a must-see live, she's such a human bomb!
