NATALIE LAYNE
You may have heard “Amen” or “Grateful For” on the hottest Christian playlists. This artist is ready to bring that new energy to the Riverwalk on July 7.
Singer, songwriter and producer Natalie Layne desires to radiate joy through her original music. With a master’s in commercial piano, Layne won Belmont’s Christian Showcase at her alma mater in 2019,
leading her to sign an exclusive recording and publishing contract with Centricity Music. Prior to landing a record deal, Layne charted a successful path as an independent artist for six years during which she
cultivated an impressive social following simply by inviting listeners into her songwriting process online.
Moreover, she studied under GRAMMY® award-winning songwriter and producer Bernie Herms (Natalie Grant, Josh Groban, Barbra Streisand) through an apprenticeship that allowed her to shadow him for a semester. She’s sung background vocals for Natalie Grant on the Dove Awards stage and also lent BGVs to labelmate Jason Gray’s upcoming album. Additionally, she’s opened shows for Jeremy Camp,
Chris Tomlin and We The Kingdom, among others, as well as headlined full band sets at Bonnaroo — twice. Her introductory EP, Amen, builds on her growing momentum, serving up six original songs — all co-penned by Layne.
