Finding influence from a broad range of genres, Natty’s drawn to the surreal. His mother, an abstract painter, was into punk and jazz – Thelonius Monk and the like – while his dad was a lover of dub, reggae and rocksteady. Natty's artistry reflects this upbringing, working with artists such as Srigala, Manik MC and Joseph Efi as he weaves between styles.
