סתם זה ארוך מדיי, אני חושב שכדאי לפצל את זה שכל אחד יתרגם חלק. כמובן שצריך עוד מתנדבים. Natalie was born in a little coastal town, Berkleyvale in the state of New South Wales in Australia. Natalie has Italian blood in her veins, her father is from Italy, hence the name Imbruglia, her mother however is from Australia. Natalie was the oldest child in that family, she has three younger sisters. Her family was a "non-showbis" family apart from her father's singing in a band called "The Birds And The Bees". Everyone in the coastal town of Berkleyvale surfed, and one summer Natalie and her friends wanted to be on the same camp as the surfer-boys. They borrowed wetsuits and joined the surfer's survival course, but Natalie did not do very well. As a little child, she wanted to be a hairdresser on weekdays and a star during the weekends. She says that at the age of two, she had already begun to dance. When Natalie was thirteen, she began to sing after having signed up for an "extra-curricular performance school" on Queensland's Gold Coast. Natalie had been asking her parents for years to take singing lessons, but it was only after her teachers almost ordered it that they signed her up. After the course finished she moved back home to Berkleyvale and when she was 15 she moved to Sydney to attend an acting school. That, however, didn't last long, only 6 months. "I Couldn't stand the getting up early. I just wanted to audition full-time. I was just sick of school and wanted to be working. Always in a hurry." She says. Natalie's first big breakthrough came when she was 16. She was "the Pineapple Princess" in a Japanese chewing-gum advertisement, and dyed her hair black to look more like a Hawaiian girl. She recorded 3 more advertisements before trying out for a two-week role i Neighbours. She got the role as Beth, her character quickly became popular and it ended up being two years in Neighbours instead of two weeks. At the start, everything was wonderful, work, money and fame. "When you are 17 and someone offer you a part as that you jump at it." But there is some kind of stigma about being in a soap-opera which Natalie found hard to handle, and the whole thing wasn't just fun and games. "I didn't have any income for a long time. My profile dropped off and my bank balance, too, and that was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was forced to struggle, which is a normal healthy part of growing up. I hadn't gone through that. I'd never had budget for anything. I probably needed a good kick up the butt cos I was a bit arrogant. It was hard and humbling but I'm glad it happened to me. "I knew this time I had to work for success." In 1994 she had had enough of life as a soap-star and moved to London. Her reception in London was warm, since Neighbours was more popular in England than in Australia. In the beginning, Natalie was invited to all the Gala-nights and parties, " So i actually got treaded probably to well", she says. But as time passed, her popularity decreased, "but i think as time went on and i guess my profile died down, and i stooped got invaded to all this party's and i released these people weren't necessarily all my friends. That's when i relay felt lone in London and when i started to write." Natalie didn't know if she could write songs and was afraid that everyone would laugh at her. She thought it over and said to herself, "Forget about what you've done and go back to basics. Ask yourself what you want to be. I wanted to write songs." To begin with she wrote the lyrics first and then added the music, but she found this very difficult. These days she writes the music first and let the word come. "I've found a way of doing it in which the music inspires the words". About this time Natalie met Anne Barret in a bar. They quickly became best friends and nowadays Anne is Natalie's manager. They worked together on a demo in 6-8 mouths and got together 3 or 4 songs which they took to the RCA and got a contract. Then Natalie went to the USA and got to meet Mark Goldenburg, whom she admired, through some friends of hers'. In one week they wrote two songs ("Big Mistake" and "Pigeons And Crumbs"). She also wrote songs with, among others, Mark Plati ("Don't You Think?", "Why" and "Impressed" ) and Matt Bronleewee ("Smoke"). "Being such a new artist, there was so much room for growth that it seemed silly to stick with one person. I was eager to experiment. I was very
