24 year old Natalie John aspires to develop her artistic expression through original compositions and stretching the boundaries of pop music.
Natalie had always been enthralled with music, having been trained classically at a young age. At around age 16, she delved into the world of jazz records and found herself compelled to keep listening ever since.
Upon entering college at University of Southern California in Los Angeles, she studied with the best LA jazz musicians, earning the John Coltrane Foundation Scholarship in 2005, and the 2006 Downbeat Award for Best College Vocalist.
Transferring to New School University in 2006, John has studied with Reggie Workman, Charles Tolliver, Junior Mance, Rachel Z, Joe Chambers and many other inspiring artists in New York City.
She participated in the prestigious Betty Carter’s Jazz Ahead artist residency at the Kennedy Center in the spring of 2008. Also in 2008 she was selected from an international draw of musicians to participate in the Banff Centre’s 3-week International Workshop for Jazz and Creative Music, directed by world-reclaimed trumpeter and composer Dave Douglas.
Outside of collegiate groups, John has performed at clubs in and around the city of L.A., including Catalina’s, the Mint, the Lighthouse, Tangier, and others. The Natalie John Quartet was featured at the 2005 Festival Jazz en Lima, voyaging to Lima, Peru, South America, where she shared the bill with Maria Schneider, Ingrid Jensen, Geoff Keezer, and other international jazz greats
Since 2006, the Natalie John Quartet performs in Manhattan and Brooklyn at such venues as the 55 Bar, Zinc Bar, Sweet Rhythm, Spike Hill, Rose Live Music, Cachaca, and others.
Natalie recently shared her talents on Oscar-winning composer and incredible South Indian musician Prasanna's new jazz album (release info. TBA). She has also performed with Ingrid Jensen’s quintet, Rachel Z’s Department of Good and Evil, Travis Sullivan’s Bjorkestra, and DUET, formerly known as the Tyler Schwartz Group.
She is available for booking and performs in an array of formats, including as a jazz vocalist with accompaniment for formal events. Also, she is available for copy work/transcriptions as well as contracted lyricist and arranger. Just write to: nataliejohnmusic@gmail.com
