biography

Natalia Scott grew up on a farm on New Zealand's North Island in the Taranaki region . In the 1990s she was mostly interested in hip-hop music and started as a rapper. After a failed acting degree, she went to the National Academy of Singing and Dramatic Art in Christchurch and discovered the city's rave scene for herself. She was in a relationship with an MC and gradually became an MC herself. After graduating, she started her own career as MC Tali. Eventually she went to Australia and made a name for herself as a drum and bass musician. In Melbourne she got the chance to play in front of the British producer Roni Size , who invited her to visit him in England. She moved to Europe and was actually signed by Size for Full Cycle Records .
