you’ve never danced alone

bio

 

Natasha Kmeto is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer from Portland, OR. Her music weaves soulful vocals through planes of timeless electronic production. Kmeto’s live show is an emotionally immersive experience; open and honest lyrics are compellingly set over dynamic minimal rhythms and unique, lush soundscapes. As a queer artist composing for the future, Kmeto’s music is still very much steeped in the rich history of dance music with reverential nods to house, electro, d'n'b and techno. Her songs aim to connect, and give an intimate glimpse into often untold stories while making the listener feel they've known the story all along.

Natasha is at her best on stage, and she has performed internationally in Europe and Canada. She has toured the U.S. several times; most notably opening for TV on the Radio, playing legendary stages like The Apollo Theater, The 9:30 Club, and The Henry Miller Library. Performances at major festivals include Coachella, Bumbershoot, SXSW, and Treefort. Other notable performances include sharing the stage with Four Tet, Squarepusher, Shabazz Palaces, DRAMA , Beacon and Roisin Murphy. Kmeto’s music has been featured by NPR, Pitchfork, Spin, Fader, Resident Advisor and Rookie. Featured live in-studio performances include Boiler Room KEXP and OPB. Her tracks have been played by numerous eminent DJs including the legendary tastemaker, Mary Ann Hobbes for BBC Radio One.

"As queer identity gets shoved aside with the mainstreaming of electronic music, as if the queer community didn't fuel the genre's formation, it's more vital than ever to have voices like Kmeto's bringing it to the forefront. This, without question, is a record of discovery and confusion as much as it is about the power of confidence in understanding and loving oneself. Inevitable is a collection of slowly ripping cords, the underlying tension manifesting on tracks as if Kmeto must manage simmering emotions and can’t, or maybe won’t." -Pitchfork

"We can’t recommend the album highly enough: lady sings the electro-blues." -Guardian

“Kmeto's power comes down to the way she displays her personal life—sexual energy, anger, pride and sadness all burn a hole right through the club-informed music. The formula makes Inevitable feel as fiery as it is intimate.” -Resident Advisor
