Biography
She is all the
women you have heard.
She is nothing
like the women you have heard.
She is soft; she
is powerful; she will bowl you over and then dust
you off... tear you to pieces and then leave you
with more than you had coming in.
There is a spine tingling that
happens when all of the right talent collides with
the right being, the songs coming through a divine
filter. This is Natalie Hughes. This is all she was
ever meant to do.
Natalie was born
into music...around the campfire, in the church
choir. She began tinkering with the piano early on
and is fully self-taught, picking up musical
knowledge and theory bits from her parents and
brother who all played guitar. My mind thinks like a
guitar player, but my fingers know the piano.
Songwriting
began at 13 and has developed with tremendous life
and fresh perspective. This, along with her rich,
creamy vocal timbre and well-honed piano skills has
gained Natalie a loyal following and an intently
captive audience at every show.
Two full length
recordings have been produced, capturing a selection
of the many songs she has penned. In Circles, 2001
was the first of these, giving us an insight into
the artist that is at once personal and universal in
it's themes of love, loss, despair and occasional
enlightenment. One Girl, 2003 is, although less
autobiographical, another glimpse of Natalie's
ability to reach inside herself and find all of us
there.
In addition to
her own material, highlights of her live performance
also include gripping interpretations of other
artists' songs such as Annie Lennox, James
Taylor and Jewel to name but a few. Natalie's unique
flavour is all over these pieces, developed over
time in cover bands both as a keyboardist and lead
vocalist.
A brief hiatus
has afforded her the space she craves to create the
songs for her upcoming release due in the fall of
2006. Natalie's recent return to performing has been
much anticipated and is even more dynamic than ever.
