When Trinidad & Tobago-born Natalie Exora arrived in Toronto to pursue her passion for music, she built the foundations of an exciting career collaborating with JUNO-winning artists and opening for a slew of high-profile acts. But it wasn’t until she received a life-changing piece of advice from Canadian guitar legend, Rik Emmett of Triumph, that would set her on a completely new and exciting course in just four words: “You need to sing.”

Natalie ExoraAnd sing she has, lending her deep, rich, classical voice to two singles released last year. The first of these, “What Are You Waiting For?”, is a formidable debut, setting the tone for Exora’s signature introspective lyrics paired with a chill, synth-pop vibe. Her second single, “Perfect”, is a ballad reminiscent of early-‘90s dream-pop that has drawn comparisons to Madonna.
