Biography
Jean-Philippe Nataf, also known as J. P. Nataf or Jipé Nataf, is a French singer-songwriter and guitarist born on July 14, 1962, in Boulogne-Billancourt.
Passionate about music, particularly The Beatles, J.P. Nataf is the singer, guitarist, and composer of the group Les Innocents (which also includes Jean-Christophe Urbain). They achieved success in the late 1980s with the title Jodie, which sold 150,000 copies.
He co-wrote the albums Fous à lier and Post-partum. He has also collaborated extensively, notably with singer Jil Caplan. He owns his own recording studio in Paris.
In 2005, with Jeanne Cherhal, he created the group Red Legs where, wearing long red socks (which give their name to the duo), they perform covers of classic songs. Jeanne Cherhal plays the bass and J.P. Nataf plays the guitar. The Red Legs have not recorded an album; their official discography under the name Red Legs consists of one song on a tribute disk to Dick Annegarn.
