Natalie Gillespie has spent a lifetime on stage, in studios, and on the road — and it shows. With a career that spans continents, collaborations, and genres, she has firmly cemented her place as one of Australia’s most accomplished independent female artists.
From touring the world with Yothu Yindi (sharing stages with Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Crowded House, no less) to recording with Colin Hay (Men at Work) and writing with Rob Hirst (Midnight Oil), Natalie’s journey has been anything but ordinary. Her soulful voice, authentic storytelling, and ability to connect deeply with audiences have seen her support icons like Michael Bublé, Joan Armatrading, and George Benson, and play festivals alongside legends such as Cold Chisel, The Waifs and Archie Roach.
Her debut solo album My Hetti Prince showcased her heart and depth, while her brand-new release, Courage to Love, is a bold, soulful celebration of self-acceptance and transformation. Written with long-time collaborators Dave Brewer, Howie Morgan and Pete Stone, the album features some of the country’s finest musicians, including Ian Moss (Cold Chisel), Ben Franz (The Waifs) and Clayton Doley (Mahalia Barnes).
With a sound that blends gospel, soul, blues and pure human honesty, Natalie’s performances are unforgettable — raw, joyful, and deeply moving. Whether it’s a festival stage or an intimate venue, Natalie brings her whole heart, every time.
