Natalie ‘THE FLOACIST’ Stewart
Natalie ‘The Floacist’ Stewart is the mastermind behind the concept of seven times Grammy Nominated, international, Neo Soul sensation Floetry.
As a slam champion poet and trained actress, the creation of Floetry and it’s spectacular stage show, both came as first nature. A born performer and communicator, Natalie first took to the stage at the tender age of three. After graduating from Richard Branson’s BRIT Performing Arts and Technology College as ‘Student of The Year’, she later went on to invite her long time friend Marsha Ambrosius to perform at a poetry event that Natalie was headlining along side her renowned performance poetry group ‘3 Plus 1’. That night, Floetry was born. Natalie named herself, The Floacist, named Marsha The Songstress, and termed their genre as “poetic delivery with musical intentâ€. Initially operating as Floetry’s manager and PR, Natalie took the blossoming artistic venture from South London, UK to Philadelphia, USA.
Now, after five years of non-stop, sold out, touring and selling well over 1 million copies of three released albums, including a live album DVD, Floetry has moved on to solo ventures.
Always the performing artist, Natalie has her fingers in many creative pies! She is in the final stages of publishing a children’s book series, with the prospect of becoming a children’s animated program, she is setting up a non-profit scholarship fund to aid young girls raised in foster care to go on to further education and further achievements, she is on her final draft of a screenplay which she is writing with Angelina Jolie in mind for the lead role, there’s a clothing line, an accessories line and if you really want to see her eyes light up, just ask her about the creative and spiritual process of her solo album, due for release in early 2008.
“I realized during the final stages of Floetry, that I hadn’t developed a voice to air my own fears…simply because I have never believed in fear articulation, as I am not afraid! So I had to find a new language, to be able to articulate the experiences that I was having. A language that recognizes the reality of change without seeking an avenue of victimization…and I used that new language to create this album!â€
Natalie “The Floacist†Stewart
Inspired by many lessons learnt and her own personal growth and journeying, The Floacist has truly come into her own, finding her voice and manifesting into an all round artistic force.
This highly anticipated debut solo album brings the impacting, conceptual, poetic delivery of Floetry and the high, infectious energy of the Floetry stage show into the studio. The Floacist’s album is packed with explosive, mind opening, new age music, flavored by her personal musical background and rooted with her defining British/Jamaican vocal! The Floacist will definitely go down in the Hip Hop Hall Of Fame for her undeniable flow, jumping straight to the front of the female emcees line for bringing the first brand new voice to the hip-hop scene in at least a decade.
This phenomenon does not stop at a CD to buy and upload into your iPod! As the creator of Floetry’s signature stage show, The Floacist continues to capture the hearts, minds and souls of audiences everywhere. Connecting with both word, and image…depth and sexiness…The Floacist is the complete package!
“This is so much more than an album…†she says with her identifiable sensual, husky voice, whilst standing in a dazzling yoga pose in the vocal booth, after listening back to freshly laid lyrics on a brand new completed hit, “It is a movement! So…let’s go…it’s what I came here for!†she concludes, flashing her signature smile and sharing her warm bubbly laughter.
And something tells me…when she says ‘here’…she means Earth!
