Natalie Gardiner has been hailed as one of the most interesting soul voices of today ever since the release of her self-titled debut album. Born in Uppsala, Sweden, with a father from Ghana and a Swedish mother, Natalie's passion for singing and song writing began in an early age. Raised on her mother's large collection of jazz, soul and funk records she soon started to sing in local jazz bands.

In 1998 Natalie moved to Stockholm. After a few years of working with different bands and producers she finally started to work with producer RMJC. In 2004 her critically acclaimed self-titled debut album was released. The soul-drenched album got much deserved attention with fans all around the world and Natalie quickly became a sought after name among many of Europe's top producers and DJ's on the scene of nu-jazz and soul.

Now Natalie is back with her second album, California. Together with RMJC, Natalie continues to explore the deeper side of soul on this, the most personal record out on Ramjac so far.
