Originally from Australia, and coming from a rock background, she didn’t initially have all the strings to charm this kind of audience. And yet, in no time at all, she became the darling of Jamaican studios: her imposing voice contrasts with her fragile appearance.
A rare pearl that’s a must-listen, as it’s hard to find these days such sensitivity and finesse on such powerful riddims. Since her debut with Australian band Blue King Brown, NATTALI RIZE has toured Europe’s finest world stages (Summerjam, Germany’s biggest reggae festival, PALEO in Switzerland…), playing hits like “Rebel Love” (over 1 million views on Youtube).
She is enjoying tremendous success in the United States, where she is currently performing on some thirty dates, including the highly prestigious California Roots in Monterey, California. The young Australian is making a big impression and has definitely carved out a place for herself in the sometimes macho and violent world of reggae.
It’s a daily fight to rise above overly clichéd lyrics and assert a committed message.
