My Who's Who, Where & the What 'n' When in Nashville
Australian born singer-songwriter, NATALIE HOWARD divides her time between the 'Gold Coast' Queensland Australia and 'Nashville' Tennessee USA.
She received a grant through the RADF [Regional Arts Development Fund] in her home town that financed a trip to America to write and record her first demo session. Thus, triggering a snowball effect that got her hooked on song writing. Natalie now migrates back and forth from Australia to Tennessee to continue building her catalogue of original music and developing her craft for singing and song writing.
2004 saw the emergence of artist/songwriter Natalie Howard to the Australian Radio, and Finalist nominations in: Australian Independent CM Awards, a Winner and four time Finalist in the Tasmanian & N.Z. Songwriting Contest, Semi Finalist in the TSA Songwriters Professional Section, 3 consecutive Country Tracks Top 15 hits and Top 20 Countdown plus two Number 1 music videos on The Country Music Channel (Australia), and more recently in the 2005 Hawking Brothers Best New Talent category of the Victorian and National CM Awards; 2005 Australian National Songwriting Contest Contemporary Ballad Top 10 Finalist; and runner-up in the Bluegrass/Country section of the IAMA (International Acoustic Music Awards USA); Winner of the 2005 CMC Best Country Artist Award in the 5th Annual National MusicOz Awards in Australia, and Winner of the 2006 Country Song of the Year in the IMA's (Independent Music Awards [USA]).
Natalies debut AUSTRALIAN CD YESTERDAYS MAKE-UP is available through her website and all good music stores in Australia, and the American release "NATALIE HOWARD" now available in the United States through 'Go Grrrl Records' [ www.gogrrrlrecords.com ] and 'CBuJ Entertainment' [ www.CBuJ.com ]
Natalie writes from her own experiences from heartache to happiness. Her candid point of view combined with her female perspective makes for straight forward lyrics. I have always preferred a direct approach over a vague message when it comes to my own music thats why I gravitate towards country music as my main foundation even though my musical background is swamped with a mixture of pop styles as well as more traditional country classics. If it [the song] grabs my attention on more than one level then I love it, no matter what the musical style of the song or artist! Its the common experience deriving from the heart of the artist that attracts me. I'm a huge fan of singer songwriters. Co-writing has been such a great gift. I have learned so much and I have been blessed, inspired and encouraged. Some of Nat's collaborations include; Chas Sandford, Ronni Rae Rivers, Gary Burr, Katy Kiefer, Greg Crowe, Rya Ehle, Ryan Tyler, Arlis Albritton, Jim McCormick, Tim Johnson, Jerry Castle, Kevin Bennett, Alan Bennett, Paul Taylor, Brian Maher, Rod McCormack, Rob Crosby, Dean Miller, Tony Ramey, Tommy Lee James & Terry McBride.
Natalie is currently working on her new CD.
