Natanya

Natanya Popoola is a British-Caribbean-Nigerian singer, songwriter, and producer from North-West London whose music fuses R&B, alt-pop, neo-soul, jazz, and Caribbean influences into what she calls an 'unboxable' sound. Born September 5, 2002 to an Indo-Trinidadian mother and Nigerian father, she trained at the Julian Joseph Jazz Academy, earned a degree in English Literature at UCL, and released her debut EP 'Sorrow At Sunrise' in 2023. Her 2025 EP 'Feline's Return' (via Human Re-Sources, co-produced with Oscar Scheller) earned co-signs from SZA, Doechii, Tyler, The Creator, and Janet Jackson, a BBC Radio 1 premiere, and features on Billboard's '15 Hip-Hop, Caribbean and R&B Artists to Watch in 2026.' Her alter ego 'Feline' - a catlike seductress with a signature cat-eye - anchors a fiercely self-directed creative vision that has drawn comparisons to early-era SZA while carving out entirely new territory.
