Natalie Forteza

“MY FAVORITE MUSICIANS ARE THOSE WHO HAVE THEIR OWN SOUND- THE ONES YOU RECOGNIZE THE INSTANT YOU HEAR THEM. THIS IS HOW I FELT WHEN I FIRST HEARD NATALIE. SHE CREATES A VIBE FROM THE FIRST NOTE, AND HOLDS YOU UNTIL THE LAST ONE. IN ADDITION TO THAT, SHE’S AN ABSOLUTE JOY TO BE AROUND. IT WAS A PLEASURE TO BE A PART OF HER DEBUT ALBUM.” -MICHAEL LEAGUE/SNARKYPUPPY

Influenced by the music of artists like Sade, Sting, Bebel Gilberto, Emily King, India.Aire, Norah Jones & Jamiroquai, this chanteuse’s musical & songwriting pursuits embrace a variety of genres.  Though her influences are many, her singular vocal talent is hard to miss. She can purr at the microphone, but there’s an underlying vocal power there. Natalie and her co-writing conspirators and band mates, who she fondly names, “the gents,” are proud to debut an EP of their original music, titled “01.” Songs comprised of layers of Pop, R&B, Soul, Electronica and World Music.  Produced by Grammy winner Michael League of Snarky Puppy and executive produced by Natalie & Porter Carroll Jr. [Atlantic Starr, Daryl Hall & John Oates band]. logo
