Findlay (born 7 June 1991), real name Natalie Rose Findlay, is an English musician originally from Stockport, England.[1]
Early life
Findlay started playing the guitar when she was around 15 years old and after about a year began writing songs. She took up music for the simple fact that she wasn't into anything else growing up. She joked that "(she) can't really do anything else."[2]
Music Career
2008-2014: Polydor
On November 24, 2013, Findlay released her second EP Greasy Love.[1] However, after disagreements with her record label, Polydor, Findlay was granted a release from her contract with the company.[3]
2015-2016: BMG
Findlay soon created her own label Mint Records and signed with BMG. On Feb 9, 2015 the video for the single "Electric Bones" was released online and the Electric Bones EP was released digitally on September 4, 2015. In March of 2015 Findlay released the single "Wolfback" which samples from the Ratatat song "Loud Pipes".[4] The video for "Junk Food" premiered on November 4, 2015 on Clash.[5]
2017-present: Forgotten Pleasures
To start off 2017 the single "Waste My Time" was released in January, followed by the release of Findlay's debut studio album Forgotten Pleasures on March 3, 2017.[6]
