Natalie Williams' Soul Family

Soul Family emerged from the jazz and neo soul era of the early 2000s and the band today perform their original music alongside classic soul, nu soul, jazz and R&B.

As the leader and fronting the band Natalie Williams is widely regarded for her rich and soulful voice, she is equally at home singing soul as well as jazz. As well as an interpreter of classics she is also a talented songwriter and regularly performs her own music.

Alongside Natalie are two equally talented singers and artists in their own right: Vula Malinga (King Charles III coronation, Pete Tong and Quincy Jones) and Brendan Reilly (Disclosure). Other stellar vocalists making regular appearances are, Vanessa Haynes (Incognito) Sharlene Hector (Basement Jaxx), LaDonna Young (Emeli Sande), Natalie Duncan (Incognito) and Teelee Daniel (Olly Alexander).

The rhythm section is made up of Robin Mullarkey on bass (Jacob Collier, Djesse, Zero7), Martyn Kaine on drums (Nitin Sawhney, Jocelyn Brown), Phil Peskett on keys (Moloko, Cinematic Orchestra) and Ben Jones on guitar (Pixie Lott, Kelly Rowland, Westlife and the VOICE band).
