Natalie Douglas

Natalie Douglas is a 21st-century vocalist with a strong foundation in the traditional pop vocals of the American Songbook and an equally fierce devotion to the modern jazz, blues, rock & country influences of her childhood. Like her idol, Nina Simone, Natalie is drawn to lyrics that tell a compelling story no matter what genre.

Douglas is a two-time Bistro, Nightlife, and thirteen-time MAC Award Winner, whose international performances have taken her from concert halls to theaters to intimate clubs and everything in between. She has produced over 75 concerts at her musical home, Birdland Jazz Club in New York City - most notably her TRIBUTES series, celebrating artists she loves including, Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, Elvis, Dolly Parton, Nat King Cole, Dame Shirley Bassey, Ella Fitzgerald, Roberta Flack, Joni Mitchell, Sammy Davis, Jr., Lena Horne, Barbra Streisand, and Cher. In 2023, she will add to her three CD catalog, including the MAC Award Winning “Human Heart,” with a brand new album on Club 44 Records, "Back To The Garden". Her CDs are currently available on iTunes, Amazon.com, Spotify, and her website: nataliedouglas.com.

In addition, Douglas has made her mark as a much sought-after educator and actor – she is an expert artist instructor for the Jim & Elizabeth Sullivan Foundation, the Eugene O’Neill Cabaret & Performance Conference, and the Mabel Mercer Foundation, for which she has been named Education Director. Natalie holds a Bachelor’s Degree from USC in Psychology, Theatre, and Women’s Studies and a Master’s Degree from UCLA in Psychology and Theatre.

“The range Ms. Douglas exhibits, vocal and emotional, could make a cynic believe in Santa. She lives inside the music, lives for the music, it is joyful and a beautiful sight to behold.”

“Douglas is the kind of performer who is hard to review, because she's so undoubtedly talented and good at what she does - the singing, sharing, entertaining, all of it - and frankly how can my words do her music justice? They can't: she has to be seen to be believed.”
Karis Rogerson, BroadwayWorld.com

“Extraordinary. A true force of nature, she squeezes a phenomenal amount of material into the evening. Yet by the end, you simply want her to carry on into the small hours.
Clive Davis, The Times (UK)
