Nat Bartsch is proudly neurodivergent, and part of the enormous wave of late-diagnosed autistic/ADHD women and artists discovering their true selves. Nat believes that her neurodiversity is at the heart of her music and the reason for its emotive, regulating effect for many listeners. Every neurodivergent person is different, with a unique patchwork of skills and abilities and passionate interests, and areas where extra support is needed (in a world designed for neurotypicals). Nat passionately believes that neurodiversity is a superpower, and with our needs met, our talents can thrive. In 2024 Nat seeks to perform, consult and connect with more neurodivergent audiences and musicians, creating music and events designed for and with ND people.

ARTIST MEET UPS

Across Melbourne in 2024, Nat will host a series of Artist Meet Ups, bringing together neurodivergent members of the music industry. The meet-ups will be an informal get together with like minded folks, in an event designed to accomodate a variety of communication styles, sensory and access needs. The events will feature pre-arrival materials, a quiet space, and various ways to engage at the event (such as a craft corner, conversation cards and name tags).

Additional Meet Ups

Stay tuned for further info about other meet ups, to be held through the year. You’re welcome to subscribe to Nat’s mailing list or follow her on social media:

Forever Changed - November 2024

Later this year, Nat will release a long-awaited new album of lullabies, Forever Changed. Whilst her original album, Forever, and No Time At All, was designed to support young families (as well as music lovers in general), Forever Changed explores ways to create music that may be regulating and soothing for neurodivergent people of all ages (both on the recorded album, and live). This immersive project, featuring extensive ambient effects and solo piano, will sound like Forever ANTAA, but with glitter poured on top! More soon.
