Display of T&T’s culture

Natalyah has garnered tremendous support from her fan base and beyond during the public voting leg of the competition. She has advanced to the finals and will “properly” put on display the music and culture of her homeland T&T as she battles 3 other contestants for the EUKSM title in celebration of Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.

Although currently residing in Switzerland, Natalyah who is a native of San Fernando, Trinidad has always held close to her roots. Throughout her years long journey as a professional singer and performer in the international market, she has taken every opportunity to not only represent for the land of Calypso and Steelpan but for the entire Caribbean region and its unique, diverse musical landscape.

She shared, “I am very honoured to be in the top 4 and I’m extremely grateful to all the people who voted for me. I think this competition will bring a lot of new opportunities. I am also looking forward in meeting everybody in person and making new friends.”

Promoting Soca music for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee

As a trained and versatile entertainer, Natalyah has not only produced pure Soca material but she consistently delivers distinctive Soca-infused contemporary Pop songs to the masses and has also dabbled in Chutney music, the Reggae/Dancehall genre and even House music.

For Natalyah, the goal always remains the same, that is to utilise platforms and perform on stages where lovers of Caribbean music, rhythms and culture as well as those beyond those subsets can access and embrace the one-of-a-kind indigenous art forms from the region of her birth.
