NatalieMaddix

Ageing A&Rs recruit young girls to cover the classics while cool hunters help legends chase youth. Natalie Maddix plays no part in the musical merry-go-round.

The South London singer/songwriter is what she is an original new voice with a soul that belies her 23-years.



Brixton born and raised, hers is a sound tempered by summer barbeques, late night blues and her mothers Beres Hammond, Sanchez and Marcia Griffiths 45s.

Already a seasoned live performer, Natalie is at ease with her audience, whether showcasing that rich and powerful voice or sharing a story that inspired her next number.



She has energized the capitals spoken word circuit with potent paragraphs and injected some welcome colour into the UKs neo soulscape. Attendees of G-Hop soul, Soul Unique and the Brixton Picture Houses intimate live jams will testify.



As a singer/songwriter her influences are manifold. Wearing her love for R&B and hip hop on her sleeve Natalie mixes in the sounds of the past to create a style all of her own.



Songs like You Made Me Danceuphold the lovers rock tradition. Its carefree message will strike a chord with anybody who ever ventured onto a dancefloor and found themselves lost in music.

Beautiful Love celebrates a beauty that is more than skin deep and Lets Make A Movie finds the able wordsmith penning a sensual love scene with blue ink and mood lighting.



Natalie Maddix's latest material finds a sister on a journey of self-discovery.

Songs like the rare-grooving Running From Love, the West Indian bashment meets Northen Soul affair that is Fool In Love and the ethereal Falling show a growth in both her writing and musical range.



Her live show has also enjoyed a steady evolution - from classic quartet to a cutting edge ensemble capable of embracing new influences and a new audience.

As Natalie Maddix readies herself to release her debut album, tentatively titled Sing Maddix Sing, prepare to welcome one of the UKs most exciting new voices.
