Hi there,

Today I am so excited to be arts calling singer/songwriter Nathalie Miranda! (https://linktr.ee/nathaliemirandamusic)

About our Guest: With an arsenal of genre-bending singles under her belt, London-based powerhouse popstar Nathalie Miranda performs straight from the heart. Blending soul, blues and classic rock into high-energy retro pop, Nathalie rocks out with unbridled passion, showcases a stellar octave range, and leaves it all on the stage. Influenced by artists such as Freddie Mercury, Prince, Madonna, Tina Turner, Christina Aguilera and Whitney Houston, as well as music from her Greek-Cypriot roots, Nathalie’s powerful belts and playful lyrics make her distinctive sound even more electrifying. Nathalie’s star continues to rise in 2024. With her smash hits ‘Catch-22’ and ‘Soul on Fire’ hitting 250,000 Spotify streams each, with more than 200,000 YouTube views combined, her unique artistry and shimmering vocals prove she’s the UK’s answer to the US powerhouse divas. She was featured in Wonderland Magazine, Rolling Stone India, previously performed on BBC’s ‘Later... with Jools Holland’ as a backing vocalist, and has headlined iconic London venues like The Troubadour. Born in London to Greek-Cypriot parents, Nathalie speaks fluent Greek and is fiercely proud of her roots - something she loves to incorporate into her music. Authentically homegrown, with a superstar polish, her dramatic 2022 single ‘Χίλια Σημάδια (1000 Scars)’ follows a classic Greek folk rhythm called Zeibekiko and was produced by Greek smash hit producer Harry K. Beyond her spotlight as a solo pop artist, Nathalie has written lyrics and melodies across dance and house music since 2017. Working with international producers who crave her 90s diva vocals, Nathalie has built her reputation as a multi-hyphenate artist free from creative boundaries. She credits her childhood classical piano studies for laying the foundations for her songwriting career - and a hotel karaoke night for unlocking her vocal abilities while on holiday with her family. Nathalie’s dazzling sound is ever-evolving, full of passion, heart, and Greek-Cypriot spirit. Follow Nathalie Miranda for updates and new music: https://linktr.ee/nathaliemirandamusic
