Natalya started playing piano at the age of 5 and after a life long love affair with pop culture music that included video games and anime, began producing her own concerts in 2018, starting with Worlds Connected: Music from Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, to Studio Ghibli – Chopin Style which premiered in Sydney in 2019, and toured nationally throughout 2019-2020.

Natalya premiered her very first fringe show Anime 'n' Chill in 2020 and performed to sold out audiences throughout the season, earning a five star review on opening night.

Natalya started dabbling in YouTube a few years ago, making piano covers of predominantly pop culture music. Over 20,000 subscribers later, the channel continues to grow rapidly attracting a very entertaining collection of comments from around the globe.
