About.
Hello there!
​​​
A big warm welcome to my website. Thank you for popping by.
​
My name is Natalie Joan and I'm a singer, songwriter and composer based in the absolutely gorgeous Peak District, UK. I write and perform my own songs and I am also available to write and compose songs, instrumental compositions or jingles too.
​​
If you are a business that needs a catchy tune for a radio advert, a film director wanting a bespoke piece of music written for your production or a company who would like a beautiful instrumental composition to add to your marketing videos, I can certainly help with all that and more!
I can either work from a client brief or be left alone to create a piece of music that fits your requirements perfectly.
​​
Here's a bit of back story to add some character behind the name.......
​​​
Words and music are my gift in life and whenever people ask me which is my favourite, I'm not sure. They might well go hand in hand to be honest, I love them both equally. I don’t have a favourite, that wouldn’t be fair.
​​
My skill with words was realised at an early age when I would while away the hours writing fantastical stories and poems, letting my imagination run wild and escaping to the mystical places I’d envisioned with the characters I’d created. I seemed to have a natural gift with words (and imagination) right from the start.
​​
As I grew older, I began to turn my attention to music too and I started writing songs. I learnt to play the piano and violin and then taught myself to play my dad’s old charity shop guitar (which he affectionately named Fred due to a strange marking on the guitar which looked like the word, erm, Fred!). I realised combining the power of words with the power of music was like alchemy!
​​
Fast forward a few years and I have written songs for major British television drama, had BBC Introducing airplay, obtained an HND in Media Production, a BSc in Professional Broadcast Techniques and have played 100's of live gigs as a bassist, keyboard player, backing singer and lead singer. I mostly perform solo these days with my trusty Tanglewood acoustic guitar, playing 95% original self-penned songs and 5% covers!

To hear my original music and some commissioned works, please click on the tabs above to explore and discover more. There is also a contact page should you wish to get in touch - I'm available for singing, song-writing and composing. Some of my original music is also available for use (subject to terms and conditions).
​​​​
Thanks for visiting, and I look forward to hearing from you and helping you create the perfect piece of music for your project soon.
​​
Many thanks,
