This summer marked a new milestone in NATISA’s musical journey: the legendary BIG ART Festival on the Costa Smeralda, where the talented singer took the stage on the same evening as Robbie Williams. On August 9, the legendary Romazzino, a Belmond Hotel on the Costa Smeralda in Italy, hosted one of the most talked-about private events of the European summer: the BIG ART Festival.
That evening brought together a truly international audience: entrepreneurs and investors, representatives of family offices, leaders from the cultural and creative industries, figures from the fashion and luxury sectors, prominent personalities, and guests for whom Porto Cervo has long been one of the key destinations on the international summer calendar.
The BIG ART Festival has long been associated with world-class artists and events in iconic international destinations. In 2026, the festival’s locations have already included St. Moritz, Courchevel, Hong Kong, Samarkand, New York, Monaco, and Porto Cervo, with this season’s lineup featuring Rita Ora, Plácido Domingo, Craig David, 50 Cent, and Robbie Williams.
Alongside internationally established artists, the BIG ART Festival aims to introduce its global audience to new talents and artists just beginning their international careers. In Porto Cervo, that artist was NATISA.
The singer did not take the stage as an artist who needed to be introduced to the audience as a “new star,” but as a performer whose talent spoke for itself.
For an emerging artist, appearing on the same stage at the BIG ART Festival alongside an artist of Robbie Williams’ caliber means far more than just another important performance. It is an opportunity to step into an entirely different professional arena: to perform before an international audience accustomed to artists of the highest caliber, to experience the grandeur of a major stage, and to make an impression in a setting where attention is never granted in advance—it must be earned.
NATISA faced the challenge of captivating an audience, many of whom may have been hearing her for the first time. Without decades of recognition behind her, and with no need to compete with the evening’s headliner, she had only her own voice, energy, and undeniable talent to make an impression.
“It is a tremendous honor for me to be part of the BIG ART Festival and to perform on the same evening as Robbie Williams. Sharing the stage with an artist of that caliber is incredibly inspiring and, at the same time, makes you take your own work even more seriously. But what mattered most to me was the opportunity to perform for an international audience—many of whom had never heard of me before—and to share my music and creativity with them. I am very grateful to the BIG ART Festival for their trust and for this opportunity. Porto Cervo was a very special moment for me, one that I will always cherish,” says NATISA.
Behind NATISA’s appearance on the BIG ART Festival stage lies a story that has never been defined by a single musical genre, a fixed formula, or a predetermined path.
NATISA is a singer, songwriter, and composer. Jazz, soul, pop, large orchestras, folk music, and contemporary sounds have all been part of her musical journey at different stages of her career. Perhaps that is precisely why today she is far less interested in answering the question, “What genre do you work in?” than in interpreting music through a language that is distinctly her own.
Music has always played a central role in her life. Concerts, rehearsals, musicians, the stage, and working with live sound were never isolated chapters in her biography, but rather the environment in which her identity as an artist gradually took shape.
For several years, NATISA was the lead soloist of the RadioBand orchestra. Performing with a large live ensemble gave her a strong professional foundation, but it never limited her stylistic range. At the same time, she continued to explore other musical styles, repertoire, and experiments, including folk songs.
Another important chapter in her development was *The Voice*. NATISA first joined the project as a contestant, experiencing the competition, the judging, and the unique emotional intensity familiar to any artist performing before a large television audience. Later, she returned in a completely different role as a vocal coach.
There is something symbolic about that transition: first searching for your own voice, and then helping others find theirs.
Working with different performers also allowed her to view music from a different perspective and understand why one technically flawless voice can leave an audience unmoved, while another can evoke a deeply personal response with a single phrase.
Gradually, all of these experiences—performing, teaching, moving between genres, playing live concerts, and experimenting with music—began to evolve into NATISA’s own original project. And with it came the desire for something more: not simply to perform music, but to create it—and to leave an emotional impact.
Today, NATISA believes it’s important that there’s a story behind every song. Love, of course, is present in her music—perhaps the most essential theme of all. But she’s interested in far more than just the romantic side of human relationships.
Her songs are increasingly becoming a way to explore what happens both within us and around us: hope and loneliness, intimacy, choice, inner strength and vulnerability, and those moments when our familiar lives change and we are forced to rediscover ourselves. Increasingly, her creative world also touches on social themes and the realities of the outside world—subjects that cannot always simply be left at the studio door.
NATISA is drawn to music that leaves a lingering impression long after the final note has faded. And perhaps this is where her true identity as a songwriter is now beginning to emerge.
Today, NATISA lives and works between Vienna and Prague, and the geography of her life is gradually becoming part of her musical character.
Much of her new music is being created in Vienna, where she is developing new material at MG Sound Studio alongside international producers and musicians.
NATISA is difficult to categorize within a single musical genre. Last year, she recorded George Gershwin’s “The Man I Love” with violinist Yury Revich, an ECHO Klassik award winner.
For NATISA, this collaboration became yet another opportunity not to choose between musical worlds, but to bring them together. Because at this point in her career, the question is no longer about finding a genre. It is about finding her own sound within a vast musical landscape.
This is precisely why NATISA’s performance at the BIG ART Festival should not be seen as the beginning of her musical journey, but as a new chapter in a creative journey that was already well underway. Porto Cervo gave the singer an opportunity to step beyond the familiar confines of a traditional music stage and introduce herself to a new international audience—people at the intersection of music, art, culture, and contemporary lifestyle.
Perhaps this is where the most interesting period of NATISA’s career begins.
She already has extensive stage experience under her belt, including years of working with musicians, on television, in teaching, with original music, and through international collaborations. Yet she still has the freedom to experiment, evolve, take risks, and continue to shape a musical style that is entirely her own.
The kind of signature that no longer requires an explanation of what the listener is hearing.
They simply recognize it: NATISA.
