A Scottish singer-songwriter whose raw, soulful voice has carried him from teenage discovery to steady, unfussy albums.
If you want to hear what he does, start with 'Last Request' from that first record. It's all there, the voice, the directness, the lack of fuss.
Nutini's music matters because it never tries to be more than it is. Songs like 'Autumn' and 'Creep' show a voice that can handle soul and rock without straining for effect. He's mentioned Otis Redding and Bob Dylan as influences, and you can hear that mix of pop, soul, and folk in everything he does.
He signed with Atlantic Records at 17, coming out of Paisley, Scotland. His first album 'These Streets' in 2006 had raw, direct songs like 'Last Request' that put him on the map. Since then he's released albums like 2019's 'Iron Sky' and a 2021 EP called 'Out Here', working with musicians like guitarist Matt Sweeney and bassist Kevin Hayes.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
