Natasha Marsh Biography

Statuesque, standing 5'10" in her bare feet with blonde hair cascading down her back, Natasha Marsh dispels the preconceptions we have of opera singers. At 21 she graduated with a first in music and drama, from Birmingham University, and won a coveted scholarship to the Royal College of Music. With many critically acclaimed performances under her belt, and a highly respected soprano within the opera world, Natasha wanted to expand on her experiences and earlier this year stepped in to the recording studio for the first time. She recorded her debut album, 'Amour', which hit the top of the Classical Chart week one and has cemented Natasha as one of the most exciting opera exports the UK has celebrated for over a decade.

Natasha was born in the beautiful countryside of Brecon, Wales. The oldest of 3 children, the family moved to Devon when she was one year old. All 3 siblings were brought up in a household immersed in music. "My dad is an accomplished pianist and Director of Music at the European School and my mum a prolific vocal coach who's involvement in music education is well documented. Our house was never peaceful, I'd come home from school, my father would be on the piano, my mother would be singing, one of my brothers would be playing bass and the other would be playing his drums. I'd run in from school and hurtle up the stairs to put down a new song I'd just written - my poor mum, she was so calm. Thinking about it, we're still a very noisy family," she laughs.
