'Soft and vulnerable but at the same time gutsy, powerful and sexy'.
- Ara Jansen, West Australian
Considered one of Perth's solid musical exports, Nat Ripepi has been performing professionally since 1996, becoming one of Perth's most popular and hardest working artists, doing solo, duo and band shows all over Australia and the world, receiving rave reviews along the way.
Nat lived in the UK in 2002-2004 where she gigged regularly and quickly gained a loyal following; selling out of CDs everywhere she went. She released a live EP in the UK which sold out in a matter of weeks.
Nat moved back to Perth in late 2004, but retuned to the UK in mid 2005 for an 8 week self funded tour that saw her perform 17 gigs in 11 cities across the UK and including Ireland. In 2007, Nat was awarded one of ArtsWA's lucrative Contemporary Music Touring Grants, enabling her to return in August 07 for a hugely successful 6 week follow-up solo tour of the UK, Ireland and Greece – with new EP ‘The Moment' in tow.
Nat has been nominated for several WAMI Awards (Western Australian Music Industry Awards) including most popular acoustic act and most popular female vocalist. Nat has also received two nominations in the WAMI Song of the Year Awards with ‘Stronger' and ‘I Will Not Fall' and was a finalist in the Dandenong Ranges Folk Festival Songsmith Award in Victoria with the song ‘Universe'. She has also supported many high profile artists including Billy Bragg, The Waifs, Ben Folds Five, Luka Bloom, Kate Ceberano, Deborah Conway, Tex Perkins, Jonathon Richmond, Mark Seymour, Tiddas, James Blundel and James Morrison.
In July 2000, Nat released her debut full length solo Cd ‘Universe'. It debuted at 3 in the Mills Records Independent Chart and 8 in the 78 Records Chart (both WA). It also gained widespread airplay on both commercial and independent radio. The album has been described as “beautifully polished and intoxicating” (West Side Observer). It is now into its third pressing.
"A stunning collection of skilfully crafted songs...will have the words tidal wave of talent inextricably linked with the performer".
XPRESS Music Magazine
"The set was a soulful expression of a collage of emotions in an eclectic group of styles. From folk rock to out and out bluesiness".
GROK Magazine
"intoxicating".
West Side Observer
"Her music instantly grabbed everyone's attention; the sheer emotion and power that came from a single acoustic and voice was stunning".

Hi Nat, thanks for the add. Just wanted to let people know that my blues and roots trio is having a CD launch on Fiday 12th June at the Davilak in Freo. Also have Mike de Velta making a rare public appearance, as well as the Dilip and the Davs. No cover charge and plenty of good music and good will. Respect to you, Chris.
well, it has been a long and winding road, and an even longer time coming, but my debut CD, I Remember, is FINALLY HERE!!! YAY!!!!!
to celebrate, American HeartBeat Records(tm) has arranged a FREE DOWNLOAD of Now Is The Time in exchange for a valid email address. Now Is The Time is a brand new, upbeat song I wrote: we are living in turbulent times. suddenly it is okay to be greedy and heartless? no way! a song of hope for our future, a new vision of America and the world.
we have a bunch of exciting things planned to kick this whole thing off, and we need to get a better picture of who our friends are, so the FREE DOWNLOAD form will ask you a few questions, like, what is your country and nearest major city. it all takes maybe 15 seconds.
anyhoo, the FREE DOWNLOAD, and the FUN, begins at www.JAETCHISON.com
I look forward to getting to know you a little better, and I thank you SO VERY MUCH for your friendship and support!
please tell your friends about JAETCHISON.com, and ask them to sign up for the email list, too! FUN things are coming up!!
