Natasha Bedingfield

In the organizer's words:

In the early 2000s, Natasha Bedingfield's liberating anthem "Unwritten" was everywhere. Not only was it ubiquitous on the radio and TRL, but it was also featured as the theme song on the hit MTV reality series "The Hills". The song quickly became a Grammy-nominated hit that became ingrained in the cultural zeitgeist. On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, the timeless classic is experiencing a revival.

Not only did it go viral on TikTok, but it returned to the charts after a prominent use as Glen Powell's "Serenity Song" in the hit romantic comedy Anyone But You, debuting on the Billboard Global 200 chart in January 2024, where it reached #20 in March 2024. It also reached #12 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart that same week.

"I've never seen a montage like that in a movie, it was really a director's declaration of love for the song. I'm sure the actors were pretty perplexed when they had to sing "Unwritten" at the end of every scene. I don't think people discovered "Unwritten" first. Most moviegoers probably already knew the song, and when they came out of the theater, they all sang along and posted it, which brought the song to the attention of many more listeners." It's still going viral today. Not only did millennials who grew up with the song relive the excitement of "Unwritten", but younger generations flocked to it and to their concerts. Beyond its moment in the film, "Unwritten" has shown serious traction through many spontaneous viral moments - including a British soccer champion singing the song in the locker room (with Natasha surprising her in person) and becoming the song of a top women's soccer team. The track has become a unifying cultural force that transcends cultural, ethnic, political and generational boundaries. It resonates everywhere from high school pep rallies and packed DJ sets to student parties and spoken word performances. It's been reinterpreted in powerful live renditions by teenagers trending on TikTok, used as a prep song by an Olympic boxing champion and chosen as walkout music by UFC fighters. Away from the spotlight, it also resonates in everyday moments - families and friends banging on pots to a popular remix, turning it into a communal celebration.

Several of Natasha's other songs also continue to enjoy viral popularity, including "Pocketful of Sunshine", "Love Like This", "Soulmate" and "These Words", which are regularly picked up as trending sounds on various platforms. This momentum prompted DJ Badger to release a new version of "These Words", which also went viral. Bedingfield's "These Words" remix with

Badger reached #12 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart in May 2024 and #10 on the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart in July 2024. Most recently, Natasha's stage collaboration with 67-Skrilla garnered over 30 million impressions and comments on TikTok.

Over the past two years, Natasha has toured festivals around the world to meet the growing demand for live performances. Her catalog has surpassed one billion streams on Spotify, and she has maintained between 16 and 20 million monthly listeners throughout the year.

The uplifting spirit of Bedingfield's music is also reflected in her philanthropic endeavors. She frequently champions causes that empower women and children. She has spoken at the UN and Cop26 about protecting the environment and even co-wrote a song with Sir Paul McCartney about environmental issues. She is a great ally of the LGBTQ+ community and performs at Pride events around the world.

"I feel understood in a unique way when I sing in queer and diverse spaces. There's a common language here, this community hears the deeper meaning I hide in my songs." Although many of her songs convey a sunny, energetic vibe, they often spring from a vulnerable place; addressing experiences she has had or is currently overcoming. Over the years, Natasha, who was homeschooled and describes herself as an outsider, has explored themes of pain, rejection, self-doubt and overcoming religious oppression in her work. "I'd like to keep finding ways to put the spotlight back on the places that really need it," she says.

With a career characterized by timeless songs and cultural resonance, Natasha Bedingfield is entering a new creative era. Her forthcoming project showcases an artist who has not only shaped the soundtrack of several generations, but also has so much more to say - musically, emotionally and thematically. Her live band is exceptional, and she is a world-class performer in the prime of her vocal abilities. Natasha's shows are truly unforgettable experiences.

The new music she creates is conceived with the live stage in mind - a reflection of her constant quest to develop her skills and creativity. She holds herself to a personal standard: to create a space where the audience feels moved, open and deeply connected through the music.

The outpouring of love from her fans has been crucial to Natasha as an artist. "I feel so embraced when people tell me that their inner child is healed while I'm singing." And Natasha plans to return that love to her fans as she begins a new chapter in her music career. "I want to stand outside the norm and be creative outside the box. I want to heed the advice of my own songs and not just play it safe or release music that always sounds the same."

Natasha, who studied psychology, continues to approach songwriting with the same curiosity that has always guided her. "I love the mind. I love asking questions. And I love solving a good problem through a song, but often when you can't solve it, it just brings relief to express it."
