Nathassia Devine is a Dutch-born singer, songwriter and electronic music artist currently residing in London, UK. She has been described, by her record label, as "The new face of dance culture" and "This generation's Kate Bush".[1] In April 2016, Nathassia made history as being the first electronic music artist to perform at Valley of the Kings in Luxor Temple, Egypt[2] at the Nefertiti International Fashion Festival.[3] In August 2016, Nathassia was featured on the Channel 4 TV show The Casting Couch.[4]

Nathassia's debut studio album, Light Of The World was released on the 30th of March 2017 by Inter-dimensional Recordings. Nathassia co-produced the album with some of the UK’s leading underground electronic music producers including British Dubstep producer Stenchman and chose to write several songs with Grammy award winning writer/producer Bruce Elliott-Smith.[5] The first two singles that were released from the album, "Contagious" and "Turning Headz", gained support from the likes of e.g. Eddy Temple Morris, BBC 6, Kiss and Mixmag.[6]

Multi-million selling Universal A&R Eddie Gordon described the album Light Of The World as "Unique song creations that show a connection to something much higher than the normal mind",[7] American music magazine Love is Pop said about the album: "Light Of The World is one of the best albums I’ve ever heard in my life, period!"[8] and critically acclaimed writer Christopher Nosnibor said "Light Of The World stands as a truly multidimensional piece."[9]

In May 2017 Nathassia commenced her first national UK tour called Feel The Future Now. The show was themed as a spellbinding journey, bringing the past back to life then transporting you into the future and covered the subjects from 3D to singularity, paganism to transhumanism, Egypt to nanotech & third eye to A.I.

In February 2018 Nathassia launched Nathassia TV, and the first episode of The Nathassia Devine Show. In addition to live music performances by Nathassia from her London studio, the show also hosts the characters NAT01 Robot & Nefertiti Now, characters sprung from her UK tour.

On Summer Solstice day 21 June 2018, Nathassia released her second album Devine Sunrise produced with Pete Ardron. In an interview The Yorkshire Times described Nathassia as "With a sound that borrows from a whole world of music, she is impossible to define in just a few words. As her sound travels from continent to continent, her powerful stage presence and distinctive styling make her a truly unforgettable artist."[10]

Early life

Born and raised in Gouda (The Netherlands) with a Dutch father and Indian mother (raised in Surinam, South-America) she grew up absorbing many multicultural musical influences. Mauritius Times said about Nathassia: “She is a role model for multiculturalism”. In an interview on Surinamese TV Nathassia said that she first started practicing her stage performance at age 2 when her father brought home an old microphone from a coach for her to play with.
