THE ONE DAY RECORD, write, record, release in one day for one day!

Record Store Day is an annual event, founded in 2007, to celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store. Those who know me know that I don’t own a TV, because that’s where the records go. I love the thrill of finding a classic in the market or popping in to my local store to buy something i’ve been waiting for, the thrill of opening it fresh, that smell, the shiny new record, the prospects of all the good times we’ll share together and the first play, oh the first play! Record store day brings together fans, artists, and thousands of independent record stores across the world and this year Hands took part by doing…..

"Shine" is really special to me because it shares a message to "Be Who You Are, Shine", whether that means crying or laughing. My wish is to lift the spirits of those of us who feel lonely, lost or misunderstood and let us know that we're in it together!

“Seasons” encourages you to be gentle with yourself, honour the gifts in each season and celebrate the impermanence of it all. 

This year was my fourth year of writing, recording and producing a song in 24 hours, an annual self-imposed challenge to celebrate Record Store Day. I wrote “Seasons” reflecting on the beauty and power of each phase of my cycle as a woman. Though focused on this journey in my womanhood, I believe everyone feels the impact of the changing of the seasons in their lives and will be able to draw their own meaning from the song. 

It will be available to download and purchase for one week only during Record Store Day 2019.

AS AN ARTIST: Nattikush is the stage name of singer/songwriter Natali Shaked. She arrived in London to study and perform her music via sailing ocean-going yachts, film school, dancing, acting, river fishing, yoga and meditation (not necessarily in that order). The perfect story would be that she ran away to join a circus, but having a close family and working with her musician father meant that this didn’t appeal to her, even if the opportunity had arisen. 

Nattikush's music has been influenced by artists such as Carole King and Arcade Fire, both of whom greatly inspired Natali at various times. Her sound is partly Lana Del Ray, with a bit of Gwen Stefani and maybe a touch of Kate Bush.

Outside of music, her interests are very varied. They include making things such as clothes and household furniture, gardening (as she loves growing her own food), painting, cooking, attending art exhibitions and films, dancing and  generally being outside, particularly on a sailing boat.  

********
AS A PROFESSIONAL WRITER: Natali writes with and for other artists and to industry briefs including adverts and game shows. To hear examples of some of this work please see her website, www.natalishaked.net

WORKSHOPS AND COACHING: Natali runs workshops in performance and Songwriting and coaches in a variety of disciplines including Vocal Performance. To join the next workshop or have Natali as your coach get in touch via her website, www.natalishaked.net
