This summer marked a defining milestone in NATISA's musical journey. At the legendary BIG ART Festival on Costa Smeralda, the singer shared the stage with Robbie Williams.
On August 9, the legendary Romazzino, A Belmond Hotel on Costa Smeralda, Italy, hosted one of the most talked-about private events of the European summer: BIG ART Festival.
That evening brought together a truly international audience: entrepreneurs and investors, representatives of family offices, leaders from the cultural and creative industries, figures from the fashion and luxury sectors, prominent personalities, and guests for whom Porto Cervo has long been one of the key destinations on the international summer calendar.
BIG ART Festival has long been associated with world-class artists and events in iconic international destinations. In 2026, the festival’s geography has already included St. Moritz, Courchevel, Hong Kong, Samarkand, New York, Monaco and Porto Cervo, with this season’s artists including Rita Ora, Plácido Domingo, Craig David, 50 Cent and Robbie Williams.
Alongside internationally established artists, BIG ART Festival aims to introduce its global audience to new talents and names at the beginning of a larger international journey. In Porto Cervo, that name was NATISA.
The singer did not step onto the stage as an artist who needed to be presented to the audience as a “new star”, but as a performer whose talent could speak for itself.
For an emerging artist, appearing on the same stage at BIG ART Festival alongside an artist of Robbie Williams’ calibre means far more than simply another important performance. It is an opportunity to enter an entirely different professional context: to perform before an international audience accustomed to artists of the highest level, to experience the scale of a major stage, and to make an impression in a setting where attention is never given in advance; it has to be earned.
NATISA faced the challenge of captivating an audience, many of whom may have been hearing her for the first time. Without decades of recognition behind her, and without any need to compete with the evening’s headline artist, she had only her own voice, energy and undeniable talent with which to make an impression.
“It is a tremendous honour for me to be part of BIG ART Festival and to perform on the same evening as Robbie Williams. When you share a platform with an artist of that calibre, it is incredibly inspiring and, at the same time, makes you take your own work even more seriously. But what mattered most to me 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 very 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 NATISA’s appearance on the BIG ART Festival stage lies a story that has never been defined by a single musical genre, a fixed formula or a predetermined path.
NATISA is a singer, songwriter and composer. Jazz, soul, pop, large orchestras, folk music and contemporary sounds have all been part of her musical experience at different stages of her career. Perhaps that is precisely why today she is far less interested in answering the question, “What genre do you work in?” than in interpreting music through a language that is distinctly her own.
Music has always occupied a central place in her life. Concerts, rehearsals, musicians, the stage and working with live sound were never isolated chapters in her biography, but rather the environment in which her identity as an artist gradually took shape.
For several years, NATISA was the lead soloist of the RadioBand orchestra. Performing with a large live ensemble gave her a strong professional foundation, but it never became a stylistic boundary. At the same time, she continued exploring other musical styles, repertoires and experiments, including folk songs.
Another important chapter in her development was The Voice. NATISA first joined the project as a contestant, experiencing the competition, evaluation and particular emotional intensity familiar to any artist performing before a major television audience. Later, she returned in an entirely different capacity: as a vocal coach.
There is something symbolic in that transition: first searching for your own voice, and then helping others find theirs.
Working with different performers also allowed her to look at music from another perspective and to understand why one technically flawless voice can leave an audience untouched, while another can make someone feel something deeply personal with a single phrase.
Gradually, all of these experiences — performing, teaching, moving between genres, live concerts and musical experimentation — began to evolve into NATISA’s own original project. And with it came the desire for something more: not simply to perform music, but to create it and leave an emotion behind.
Today, it matters to NATISA that there is a story behind every song. Love, of course, is present in her music, perhaps as the most essential theme of all. But she is interested in far more than the romantic side of human relationships.

Increasingly, her creative world also touches on social themes and the realities of the world outside, subjects that cannot always simply be left at the studio door.
NATISA is drawn to music that leaves an aftertaste long after the final note has faded. And perhaps this is where her true identity as a songwriter is now beginning to emerge.
Today, NATISA 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 music is being created in Vienna, where she is developing new material at MG Sound Studio alongside international producers and musicians.
NATISA is difficult to place within a single musical category. Last year, she recorded George Gershwin’s “The Man I Love” together with violinist Yury Revich, an ECHO Klassik laureate.
For NATISA, the collaboration became another opportunity not to choose between musical worlds, but to bring them together. Because, at this point in her career, the question is no longer about finding a genre. It is about finding her own sound within a vast musical landscape.
This is precisely why NATISA’s performance at BIG ART Festival should not be seen as the beginning of her musical story, but as a new chapter in a creative journey that was already well underway. Porto Cervo gave the singer an opportunity to move beyond the familiar boundaries of a traditional music stage and introduce herself to a new international audience: people at the intersection of music, art, culture and contemporary lifestyle.
Perhaps this is where the most interesting period of NATISA’s career begins.
She already has substantial stage experience behind her, years of working with musicians, television, teaching, original music and international collaborations. Yet she still has the freedom to experiment, evolve, take risks and continue shaping a musical signature entirely her own.
The kind of signature that no longer needs an explanation of what the listener is hearing.
They simply recognise it: NATISA.
