Originally from Australia and coming from a predominantly rock background, she initially lacked all the tools to captivate this kind of audience. And yet, in a short time, she became the darling of Jamaican studios: her commanding voice contrasts with her delicate appearance.
A rare gem that must be heard, as it has become increasingly difficult to find such sensitivity and finesse paired with hard-hitting riddims these days. Since her beginnings with the Australian group Blue King Brown, Nattali Rize has graced some of Europe’s biggest world music stages (such as Summerjam, the largest reggae festival in Germany, and Paleo in Switzerland), performing hits like “Rebel Love” (with over 1 million views on YouTube).
She is enjoying remarkable success in the United States, currently performing at around thirty venues, including the prestigious California Roots in Monterey, California. The young Australian continues to impress and has definitively carved out a place for herself in the often male-dominated and tough world of reggae.
It’s a daily fight to rise above overly clichéd lyrics and assert a committed message.
