Considered one of Perth's solid musical exports, Nat Ripepi has been performing professionally since 1996, becoming one of Perth's most popular and hardest working artists, doing solo, duo and band shows all over Australia and the world, receiving rave reviews along the way.



Nat lived in the UK in 2002-2004 where she gigged regularly and quickly gained a loyal following; selling out of CDs everywhere she went. She released a live EP in the UK which sold out in a matter of weeks.

Nat moved back to Perth in late 2004, but retuned to the UK in mid 2005 for an 8 week self funded tour that saw her perform 17 gigs in 11 cities across the UK and including Ireland. In 2007, Nat was awarded one of ArtsWA's lucrative Contemporary Music Touring Grants, enabling her to return in August 07 for a hugely successful 6 week follow-up solo tour of the UK, Ireland and Greece – with new EP ‘The Moment' in tow.



Nat has been nominated for several WAMI Awards (Western Australian Music Industry Awards) including most popular acoustic act and most popular female vocalist. Nat has also received two nominations in the WAMI Song of the Year Awards with ‘Stronger' and ‘I Will Not Fall' and was a finalist in the Dandenong Ranges Folk Festival Songsmith Award in Victoria with the song ‘Universe'. She has also supported many high profile artists including Billy Bragg, The Waifs, Ben Folds Five, Luka Bloom, Kate Ceberano, Deborah Conway, Tex Perkins, Jonathon Richmond, Mark Seymour, Tiddas, James Blundel and James Morrison.



In July 2000, Nat released her debut full length solo Cd ‘Universe'. It debuted at 3 in the Mills Records Independent Chart and 8 in the 78 Records Chart (both WA). It also gained widespread airplay on both commercial and independent radio. The album has been described as “beautifully polished and intoxicating” (West Side Observer). It is now into its third pressing.
