Natalise’s musical and artistic journey has taken a variety of adventurous paths. Beginning with piano lessons at the age of three, dance at seven, singing in the church choir at eight, she then auditioned and began training at the renown San Francisco Conservatory of Music at age 11, where she began her journey to become an accomplished classically trained pianist and vocalist. Natalise, however, soon found greatest solace and inspiration in writing her own songs on the piano. While attending Stanford University (from which she graduated in three years with high honors) she simultaneously recorded and released a solo album on her own independent label which became a hit on San Francisco radio. Thereafter, Natalise formed her band Natalise + the Sunset Run and has performed at over 150 venues all over the world, including the famed Viper Room, the House of Blues, and The Hotel Cafe, as well as colleges like Columbia, Stanford, and UCLA. Natalise is also a national anthem singer for her hometown team the Golden State Warriors. Natalise + the Sunset Run's songs have been featured on television shows on such networks as MTV, VH1, Oxygen, and the CW. Currently, the band has released a new mini album of original songs entitled Glimpses of the Sun. Natalise cites Coldplay, Sigur Ros, and One Republic as influences, with whom she shares a love for the piano, an appreciation of atmosphere, and a passion for the heartfelt. Natalise has a soft spot for anyone who loves physics, dogs, and an authentic brew of English tea. She is currently in pre-production for her next album and recently received her MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business.
