Project Description
Natasha Panas has a rare natural gift for music. Since a child, London-born Natasha was blessed with an astonishing ability to recreate upon the piano almost any song that caught her ear. This talent has led her to develop one of the most extensive repertoires of any pianist in her field. Today, she regularly performs and entertains at some of the world’s finest parties and events and has established a reputation as one of the UK’s most versatile and respected singer-pianists. She has even been likened to a human jukebox for her capacity to play almost any song one might request. With a natural instinct for curating her repertoire to suit the specific clientele at every show, and a mesmerising ability to conjure a singalong wherever she goes, it’s no wonder her enthralled audience come back to book her for their events again and again.
Aside from performing in the private events market, Natasha is also an accomplished songwriter, having worked with producers such as Felix Howard (Amy Winehouse) and Paul Simm (Sugababes). Her track “Need To Feel Wanted” was a Hedkandi favourite when released on the label’s much loved Beach House compilation. Additionally, as a musical director, session player and singer and vocal arranger, Natasha has worked and toured with artists including David McAlmont, Alison Limerick, Vanessa Mae, Hedkandi star Peyton and comedian Lenny Beige. She has frequently appeared on TV (Top ofthe Pops, CD:UK, This Morning, etc.) playing and singing with different bands. In 2007 she was appointed to MD for the musical Hot Flush starring Sheila Ferguson, Rula Lenska and Marti Webb.
Natasha’s repertoire list runs to the 1000s, so the below is intended as a sample only. Natasha is also happy to take requests on the night.
