Originally from Edmonton, Natalia is now based out of Calgary. Natalia performs regularly in both cities but most notably, she’s had a once in a lifetime opportunity to represent Canada at the 2018 Chengdu International Sister Cities Youth Music Festival to not only introduce R&B/Neosoul to China but to also raise global awareness in building stronger cultural connections through music.
Skilled on the piano and keyboard, Natalia is featured in many other artists’ projects on keys and voice, executive/sound producer for a new animation series, contributions to music production in the film industry such as CBC’s “My Lyric I Never Knew” and even written/produced the soundtrack for an independent short film called “Power Moves” that has been selected for the 35th Edmonton International Film Festival. No matter the platform, Natalia’s art has driven all her listeners to describe her sultry voice as “honey to the ears”. Her music brings back the nostalgia of old school R&B/Neosoul and flirts with gospel jazz. Natalia believes in the power of creating a community that isn’t afraid to discuss tough topics about the human condition in today’s complex society.
Natalia is also a proud independent community partner with the Mental Health Commission of Canada and Canadian Mental Health Association of Calgary where she is a keynote speaker at youth summits for students across the province sharing her lived experiences as an Asian woman breaking cultural and societal norms to make her creative dreams come true!
