Natalie Layne
Soul-inspired pop singer/songwriter, pianist, worship leader and producer Natalie Layne radiates joy, embedding deep, theologically rich lyrics into melodies that evoke delight. With her signature piano guiding her sonic instincts, the Colorado native now based in Nashville straddles the line between contemplative pop and a rare blend of jazz and funk all rolled into one. Finding joy and gratitude even in the midst of life’s challenges, her Centricity Music debut album, aptly titled All Joy, is set to release early 2025.
Cultivating an impressive social following by inviting listeners into her songwriting process online, Layne has studied under GRAMMY® award-winning songwriter and producer Bernie Herms (Natalie Grant, Josh Groban, Barbra Streisand), headlined full band sets at Bonnaroo – twice – and toured with Chris Tomlin, Jeremy Camp, We The Kingdom, Danny Gokey, Brandon Heath and Tenth Avenue North, among others. Additionally, she was one of the first Christian musicians to be named an “Artist to Watch” by Pandora.
In 2023, Layne released her six-song Amen. The EP’s title-cut launched into the Top 20 at Christian radio and was followed by the tender “Fragile.” Five months later, she dropped Amen (At The Piano), an acoustic version of her studio EP produced entirely by the songstress that showcases her remarkable talent as a classically trained pianist. The 13-song All Joy, produced by Layne, Jeff Pardo, David Spencer, Chris Clayton and Christian Hale, includes The Recording Academy’s “Positive Vibes Only” featured track “Grateful For” and is set to build on her growing momentum.
