NATTY

An eclectic mix of sounds from Neil Young to Marvin Gaye

Born and raised in North London Jamaica, singer/songwriter Natty grew up with David Bowie, and Joy Division records in the house along with LPs from Bob Marley, Sizzla, His an appreciation of hip-hop acts like Public Enemy and Slum Village, made his mind up that music was the best choice. He worked for a recording studio, he absorbed as much as he could. Natty soon learned how to mix and engineer thanks to the studio, but on his own he had begun to write songs and was working on his guitar playing and voice. When he began playing open-mike nights around London, his socially conscious lyrics drew comparisons to Ben Harper, while his genre-blending crossover potential reminded the U.K. press of Finley Quaye. He soon helped form the Vibes & Pressure a collection of musicians (including the popular Trojan Sound System). Vibes & Pressure spawned a label of the same name and released Natty's debut double A-sided single, "Badmind" enter the major label Atlantic records with a deal, the rest is history.
