Natalie Clark’s story reads like something out of a feel-good movie: a Scottish school teacher gets up to sing at the spontaneous request of Richard Branson and ends up trading her classroom for the bright lights of Los Angeles. That one fearless moment—standing on a stage in front of a crowd, with no backing band or warning—catapulted Clark into the music world, and she’s been chasing that spark ever since. Branson himself was floored by her performance, calling it “absolutely and utterly stunning,” and his admiration wasn’t just lip service—he followed up with a series of articles chronicling her remarkable journey.
From there, Natalie didn’t look back. She left behind her hometown and the chalkboard, embracing a new chapter in the United States that would see her opening festivals, playing historic venues like The Roxy and The Greek Theatre, and even earning a spot as a Mercedes Benz KTLA “Artist to Watch.” That nod led to a commercial campaign and more high-profile shows, further cementing her place as an artist to keep an eye on. In the process, she’s picked up praise from some serious industry heavyweights, including Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton, and her songs have found homes in Netflix series and indie films. Her track “Ready to Roll” even won Best Original Song at the Austin Under the Stars Film Festival.
Now signed with DVG Records, Natalie Clark is gearing up to release her debut album, and if the lead-up singles are anything to go by, it’s going to be packed with heart, hope, and a healthy dose of grit. Her latest single, “KID,” captures everything she’s about—resilience, joy, and the magic of remembering who you were before the world told you to grow up. The track starts gently, riding on the back of an acoustic guitar and the soft ache of nostalgia, but then builds into something much bigger—a full-bodied anthem with electric guitars and soaring vocals designed to shake off the weight of adulthood. With lyrics that name-check cultural touchstones like Back to the Future and Lego, “KID” feels like a warm handshake between generations, reminding us of the fearless, playful versions of ourselves we too often forget.
Produced by Todd Spadafore, known for work with Greyson Chance, Little Big Town, and DJ Khalid, “KID” blends Clark’s folk-pop instincts with modern polish. The result is a track that feels both intimate and cinematic—one that urges the listener not just to remember their past selves, but to revive them. Natalie Clark may have started out in a Scottish classroom, but she’s teaching us something far bigger now: joy isn’t something we grow out of, it’s something we grow back into.
