bass legend Carol Kaye about nat.b:
"You're a shining example in your part of the world (...) please keep up the good work in your playing and sharing good music."
[PL] Urodzilam sie 6 grudnia 1984 r. w Mragowie. Gitara basowa zafascynowala mnie gdy mialam 16 lat i od tej pory caly czas gram. Jestem samoukiem, choc do mojej edukacji poprzez lekcje, porady i warsztaty w znacznym stopniu przyczynilo sie kilku znanych i cenionych muzykow. Do tej pory pracowalam min. z Pati Yang (+ Stevenem Hiltonem), z ktora zagralam min. na festiwalu w Opolu oraz jako support przed Depeche Mode, harmonijkarzem Krzysiem "Gasiem" Gaszewskim (Reed Vibration), bylam zastepstwem u Lidii Kopani, gralam ze spiewajacymi aktorkami takimi jak Joanna Liszowska, Anna Dereszowska, Kasia Zielinska, Kasia Dabrowska, Magda Smalara, Aneta Todorczuk-Perchuc, Monika Dryl; wzielam udzial w koncercie galowym wienczacym festiwal Pamietajmy o Osieckiej. Mozna bylo poczytac o mnie w Top Guitar i posluchac w Trojce. Pracowalam tez w studio. Obecnie jestem zajeta swoim kobiecym projektem w gatunku fusion. Posluchac moich (s)tworow mozna na www.myspace.com/natbrecordings. Pozdrawiam ;)
[ENG] Natalia B. Age 23. Occupation: bass player; most often a pop bassist, young hopeful, side(wo)man, originally hailing from a small-town environment of Mragowo, Poland, now:
among others, member of a jazz-blues quartet (Reed Vibration, where I play with one of the best harp players around - known for great harmonica repairs and customizing and his contributions to Muzyk magazine - Krzysztof Gaszewski),
bassist for alternative diva Pati Yang (+ also worked with her producer, Steve Hilton, who did studio work with the likes of U2, Depeche Mode, Massive Attack and Isaac Hayes to name a few) and stand-in for bassist Filip Sojka with Top Trendy festival winner of 2006 - pop singer Lidia Kopania.
I have also worked with singing actressess such as Joanna Liszowska, Anna Dereszowska, Kasia Zielinska, Kasia Dabrowska, Magda Smalara, Aneta Todorczuk-Perchuc, Monika Dryl etc. and have worked with the production team Unique Unit. I have also recorded an EP with alternative rockers Appleseed.
I've been in the papers (Top Guitar), on TV (Opole 2006) and on the Radio (Polskie Radio Trojka), so my mom is proud of me :-) My favourite achievement so far was playing a Depeche Mode support show (just before their concert at Warsaw, Legia Stadium - 9th of June 2006).
Other than that I'm just a music lover. English-language-PRO. Oh, and cute as a cupcake...;) I love playing bass and I am doing what I once thought was completely impossible. Working hard to live my dream :)
Watch this MySpace for new stuff and my own projects as well as information on my current and future collaborations - including my forthcoming all-female fusion band (youtube video below)
If you're interested in the gear I'm using, it includes three Yamaha basses (the BB2004, very similar to the Nathan East signature, TRB 6II, which is the classic, Japan-produced Yamaha six-string, and a simple BB), Lexicon and Line6 effects and Ampeg amp.
LIVE!
