Natasha Bedingfield

Natasha Bedingfield is a pop singer from London, England. Though she is today most well-known for her secular solo career, Natasha began her musical career while in high school, playing alongside her brother Daniel Bedingfield and sister Nikola Bedingfield in a Christian electronica group called The DNA Algorithm. Though The DNA Algorithm dissolved before producing any large body of work, it provided Natasha with a springboard with which to further develop her musical talents. She attended the University of Greenwich for a year before dropping out to pursue music full time, convinced that it was her calling in life.

She began to record demo albums locally in homebrew recording studios owned by her friends, all the while working as a musician-in-residence for the Hillsong London Church and producing a number of recordings for the institution. She began to send out demos of her personal work to recording companies, eventually catching the attention of executives at Sony BMG (Jennifer Lopez, Shakira) who added Natasha to their star-studded roster in 2003. She began working on her debut album Unwritten almost immediately; it hit store shelves just months later in 2004.

Featuring appearances by the likes of Nick Lachey, Guy Chambers, and Bizarre, the upbeat pop-rock grooves of Unwritten found a wide audience in the UK and in the USA, moving over three million copies internationally and receiving favorable reviews in the music press. A far cry from the religious nature of her earlier work, Unwritten marked Natasha's entrance into the mainstream music scene - and a successful one, at that. The album spawned a total of five singles, among them "Unwritten" and "These Words".

Natasha's second album N.B. was released exclusively in Europe in 2007, though it was reworked and released in the United States as Pocketful of Sunshine a year later in 2008. While Unwritten's lyrical subject matter dealt primarily with youthful notions of independence and freedom, N.B. and Pocketful of Sunshine tended to deal with more mature subject matter that a pop icon on the verge of 30 might be preoccupied with - such as finding a partner, as in the single "Babies". In a similar vein, her second two albums branched out to include a number of new musical styles, among them reggae (with an appearance by Sean Kingston) and hip-hop. Standout tracks from Natasha's second two albums include "Soulmate", "Angel", and "Love Like This".

Bedingfield - an avid philanthropist active in a number of international aid organizations, among them Global Angels and the (RED) Campaign - plans to continue her musical career with the release of a fourth studio album sometime in 2009.

Natasha has just released her second album, N.B. and the lead single is the hit, I Wanna Have Your Babies.

Her latest offering ?Say It Again', the third single to be taken from her critically acclaimed chart topping second album 'N.B', is no exception to this rule. Natasha Bedingfield co-wrote ?Say It Again? with Adam Levine (Maroon 5), and co-produced it with Mike Ellizondo (Dr Dre, Alanis Morisette). An uplifting song about falling for that elusive one, 'Say It Again' is reflective yet upbeat, and romantic without being saccharine sweet.

Natasha regularly contributes to YouTube as "uknatashabedingfield".

Another song that has gotten international acclaim is pocketful of sunshine. DSTV has used it for promoting their station.
