This summer marked an important new chapter in NATISA’s musical journey as the talented singer performed at the legendary BIG ART Festival on Costa Smeralda, sharing the evening’s programme with Robbie Williams.
On August 9, the iconic Romazzino, A Belmond Hotel on Costa Smeralda, hosted one of the most talked-about private events of the European summer: BIG ART Festival.
The evening welcomed a truly international audience, including entrepreneurs, investors, family-office representatives, leaders from the cultural and creative industries, prominent figures from fashion and luxury, and guests for whom Porto Cervo has long been a key destination on the global summer calendar.
BIG ART Festival has built its reputation around world-class performers and spectacular events held in some of the world’s most exclusive locations. In 2026, the festival has already travelled to St. Moritz, Courchevel, Hong Kong, Samarkand, New York, Monaco and Porto Cervo. This season’s line-up has included artists such as Rita Ora, Plácido Domingo, Craig David, 50 Cent and Robbie Williams.

Alongside internationally established names, the festival also seeks to introduce its global audience to emerging artists who are beginning a broader international journey. In Porto Cervo, that artist was NATISA.
She did not walk onto the stage as a “new star” in need of an introduction, but as a performer capable of allowing her voice, presence and talent to speak for themselves.
For an emerging artist, performing at BIG ART Festival on the same evening as someone of Robbie Williams’ calibre represents far more than another prestigious appearance. It means entering a completely different professional environment: facing an international audience accustomed to the highest level of entertainment, experiencing the scale of a major stage and earning attention in a setting where recognition is never guaranteed.
Many of those present may have been hearing NATISA for the first time. Without decades of fame behind her, and without attempting to compete with the evening’s headline performer, she relied on what truly defines her as an artist: her voice, energy and unmistakable talent.
“It is a tremendous honour for me to be part of BIG ART Festival and to perform on the same evening as Robbie Williams. Sharing a platform with an artist of that calibre is incredibly inspiring and, at the same time, encourages you to take your own work even more seriously. What mattered most to me, however, 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 deeply grateful to BIG ART Festival for their trust and for this opportunity. Porto Cervo became a very special moment for me, one that I will always cherish,” says NATISA.

Behind this performance lies a musical story that has never been limited by a single genre, a fixed formula or a predetermined direction.
NATISA is a singer, songwriter and composer whose artistic experience spans jazz, soul, pop, folk music, contemporary sounds and performances with large orchestras. Perhaps this is why she is now less interested in answering the question, “What genre do you work in?” than in interpreting music through a language that is recognisably her own.
Music has always been central to her life. Concerts, rehearsals, musicians, live sound and the stage have not been separate episodes in her biography, but the environment in which her identity as an artist gradually developed.
For several years, NATISA was the lead soloist of the RadioBand orchestra. Performing with a large live ensemble gave her a solid professional foundation without ever becoming a stylistic limitation. During the same period, she continued exploring different repertoires, sounds and musical traditions, including folk songs.
Another significant chapter in her development came through The Voice. NATISA initially joined the project as a contestant, experiencing the competition, scrutiny and emotional intensity familiar to any performer appearing before a major television audience. She later returned in a completely different role: as a vocal coach.
There is something meaningful in that transition — first searching for one’s own voice and then helping other artists discover theirs.
Working closely with different performers also allowed her to understand music from another perspective: why a technically flawless voice can sometimes leave an audience unmoved, while another can communicate something deeply personal through a single phrase.
Over time, these experiences — performing, teaching, moving between genres, playing live concerts and experimenting musically — began to merge into NATISA’s own original project. With it came the desire to do more than interpret music: she wanted to create it and leave the listener with a lasting emotion.
Today, NATISA believes that every song should contain a story. Love remains one of the most essential themes in her music, but her creative interests extend well beyond the romantic dimension of human relationships.

Her songs increasingly explore what happens both inside us and in the world around us: hope and loneliness, intimacy and choice, strength and vulnerability, and those moments when life changes unexpectedly and forces us to rediscover who we are. Her artistic world is also opening up to social themes and external realities that cannot always be left outside the recording studio.
NATISA is attracted to music that continues to resonate after the final note has faded. Perhaps this is precisely where her identity as a songwriter is beginning to reveal itself most clearly.
Today, she 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 material is being developed in Vienna at MG Sound Studio, where she works alongside international producers and musicians.
Her music remains difficult to confine to a single category. Last year, NATISA recorded George Gershwin’s “The Man I Love” with violinist Yury Revich, an ECHO Klassik laureate.
The collaboration offered her another opportunity to bring different musical worlds together rather than having to choose between them. At this stage of her career, the challenge is no longer to find a genre, but to discover and refine her own sound within a vast musical landscape.
For this reason, NATISA’s appearance at BIG ART Festival should not be considered the beginning of her musical story. Instead, it represents a new chapter in a creative journey that was already firmly underway.

Porto Cervo gave her the opportunity to move beyond the familiar boundaries of a traditional music stage and present herself to a new international audience positioned at the intersection of music, art, culture and contemporary lifestyle.
Perhaps this is where the most compelling period of NATISA’s career begins.
She already brings with her considerable stage experience, years of collaboration with musicians, television appearances, teaching, original material and international creative projects. At the same time, she still possesses the freedom to experiment, evolve, take risks and continue shaping a musical signature that belongs entirely to her.
A signature that no longer needs to be explained.
The audience simply recognises it: NATISA.
