This artist is single-handedly paving her own way in this industry and there’s no doubt that she is 100% in the driving seat when it comes to her music. This diminutive singer experiments with different styles, refusing to be defined by a genre or by industry standards. Since 2017, Nathalie has released multi-genre music ranging from 80s inspired pop to Classic Rock/Pop, to traditional Greek music in honour of her Greek Cypriot heritage. Put simply, she draws on the music that has inspired her and skilfully adapts it to create her own inimitable sound.
