Nat
“Music really is everything to me - I’m not slowing down.”
Nat began their music journey at The Music Works in Gloucester, where they met their close friends, co-writers, producers and band. Nat’s first single landed on a Spotify Editorial playlist, giving them the momentum to continue.
Choosing to study at the University of Bristol because of the city’s thriving music scene, she quickly immersed themselves in the local gig circuit. What started as a request for a couple of shifts at Thekla turned into a short-term contract, opening doors to promoters and artists and leading to support slots for Master Peace, Pip Millett, Jelani Blackman and many more. Nat later became involved with Big Team through the Next Level programme, spending an intensive week writing music alongside other artists and receiving mentorship from Eva Lazarus and Sam Interface, which resulted in the track Backseat Driver.
The support from Big Team proved pivotal, culminating in performances on the main stage at Love Saves The Day twice and the formation of strong creative ties with both Pirate Studios which she performed with at Boomtown Fair, and at Bristol Beacon for her first headline show.
After several transformative years, Nat relocated to London to explore new ground, going on to place second in the 2025 Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition, perform on the Lonely Hearts Club and Bread & Roses stages at Glastonbury, support Kojey Radical at Spotify’s London HQ, and deliver their biggest performance to date to just under 30,000 people at Lord’s Cricket Ground with BBC Introducing.
Nat feels that Big Team is her Bristol Family and she shares that Big Team remains a cornerstone of the Bristol music scene, nurturing artists locally while propelling them nationally, and the connections formed through the organisation continue to be deeply valued by Nat. Looking ahead, she's going to focus on writing and releasing entirely new music this year, with a major Bristol show scheduled for summer 2026.
