Natasha is a pianist, singer, MD and writer who has been performing and writing for the past ten years with various wonderful musicians in London and abroad.
Most recently, she has been busy working on her first solo album (finally!!) alongside magnificently talented producer and friend, Paul Simm (Amy Winehouse, Sugababes, Neneh Cherry). Natasha was lucky enough to work with some of the finest musicians the UK has to offer, including Jeremy Stacey on drums and Toby Baker on bass/guitars. The album, entitled 'Yellow Flowers' after one of the 12 original tracks - 3 of which are collaborations - is now finally finished, so watch this myspace for the July release date!!!!! The single 'Kennington' was co written with the super talented David McAlmont - who features on backing vocals - and will be released at the end of June.
please come see our UK debut at The Bush Hall on May 26th...full album is gonna be given away - for one night only - with copies sold of new double 7"...and we'll be playing a few fave Felice Brothers tunes too...be there!
