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 CD got much deserved attention with fans all around the world and Natalie's quickly became a sought after name among many of Europe's top producers and DJ:s on the Nu-jazz / Soul scene.

-----------------
"Natalie Gardiner's voice has that soulful impact that makes your hairs
stand on end"
Sean Brosnan - Knowledge magazine
"Stockholm based Ramjacs first album release should be collectable in years
to come as the European soul underground moves forward."
Colm Carty - Straight No Chaser
"Blues drenches and mystical, but still so present. Natalie Gardiner's voice
adds both colour and depth. It's like a calm ocean resting on an abyss of
emotions. This album speaks loud and clear, even when whispering in your
ear."
Lennart Persson - Expressen
"In an age that is plagued by interchangeable R´n´B-voices, the world waits
simply for voices as well as this."
m.path.iq - De:Bug
"A mixture of shuffling, electronic glitches, bare instrumentation and the
soulful vocal talents of Natalie Gardiner."
An electro-soul masterpiece!"
Walter N. Wehus - Bergens Tidende
"Natalie Gardiners background is jazz with an appetite for Sade, Anita
Baker and Muddy Waters. Produced by RMJC, Natalie combines all those
influences into a hypnotic concoction of liquid soul that just melts out
your speakers."
Troy Sincock - Onion
