Natalie Nowytski

(4 ratings)

Natalie Nowytski, a classically trained vocalist with a passion for folk tradition, has become respected as a master artist of Eastern European vocal styling. often dubbed "chameleon voice" for her ability to mimic style, timbre, and language, she sings in more than 50 languages--including her native Ukrainian--and in nearly as many distinct vocal styles. Her range of voices makes for ideal soundtrack possibilities, live performance, and recordings anywhere from village-style music to indie pop to choral to experimental. Her performance credits include guest appearances with Peter Ostroushko, Ruth MacKenzie, Joe Chvala and the Flying Foot Forum, and Ethnic Dance Theatre. She has performed on Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion and at the prestigious Koprivshtitsa folk festival in Bulgaria--both with Mila Vocal Ensemble, which she directed for several years. Although she calls the voice her main instrument, Natalie plays nearly a dozen folk and classical instruments. She is the vocalist/percussionist/flautist for folk dance band Orkestar Bez Ime (OBI), vocalist for the traditional Bulgarian dance band Traki, and vocalist/bassist for Seljuky (Ukrainian Village Band). In a departure from her folk music life, Natalie also bridges the indie rock/pop/electronica scene--writing, performing and recording with her duet partner, Reid Kruger as AM Supper Club.

Brilliant musician. She has an amazing, versatile voice -- listening from one track to the next sometimes you don't realize it's the same person! So talented and extremely professional. You should tour more to the West Coast!
