Avian X ‘Dark circles’ - An interesting darker edge that pop music can take. -Music Liberation
With hooks worthy of a Sugababes writer, but with an added touch of much needed regret and honesty, this is a Pop (with a capital and Proud P) album that stays the distance. – Next Big Thing
You'll be hooked right in, webbed up and frozen. - The Culture of Me.

"Avian X opened the show last night, playing a potent blend of pop, rock and electronica. She fired up the crowd in her sassy yellow-black outfit. I had not seen Avian perform live yet, but boy, does she have a great stage presence. Love "Dark Circles."Such a mesmerizing track." - Arjanwrites.com
The sound of Avian X, provides the link between Madonna and The Sounds. -High Voltage Magazine
Natalia toured in the North East and shared stage with Shiny Toy Guns, Kill Hannah, Clear Static, Your Vegas, Aerodrone and The Annix.

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race” -Calvin Coolidge
Energy and persistence conquer all things. — Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. it's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.
-Barak Obama
“There's more, much more, to Christmas Than candlelight and cheer; It's the spirit of sweet friendship That brightens all year. It's thoughtfulness and kindness, It's hope reborn again, For peace, for understanding, And for goodwill to men!” I wish you a merry Christmas and happy new-year!!
