Natasha Duarte’ is an amazing young singer-songwriter with a huge future. She started recording at just 13 after winning a national competition through JB HiFi and The Kool Skools Project. Since then she hasn’t looked back, winning awards and making fans. She recently won the national youth songwriters competition (ACMF) with the title song Wanted To Feel and has another song off the EP, The Worst Part, in the top 15 songs in contention in the US based International Song Competition (ISC). She was named Penrith Young Citizen of the Year (2012) for her support of the community and musical achievements and has been featured in Girlfriend Magazine as a contender in GF of the Year. Her songs are way mature of her age having just turned 17 but catchy as pop can be. Natasha is currently touring schools with her Loud at Lunchtime tour in support of the debut release. Available on iTunes from Friday March 30th. Have a preview listen to all 4 tracks from our Soundcloud and become friends on Facebook here http://www.facebook.com/tashiduarte.

Natasha has a full album due out later this year which has been produced with TC Carter and co-produced by Marc Collis at Studio 52, Melbourne. If you would like Natasha to perform at your school call Kool Skools on 03-9417-7707.

A Tribute to Matthew ‘Dutch’ Tilders

Paul Higgins — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 09:45:11 +0000

It is with great sadness that we note the passing of Australia’s legend of the Blues, Matthew ‘Dutch ‘ Tilders who died peacefully on Good Friday 23/4/2011. He lost his battle with Cancer but he will not be forgotten. Empire Records wishes to send its sincere condolences to all fans of Dutch and to all his loving friends and family.

Dutch was a great singer, songwriter and performer and has left wonderful original songs and recordings which will live on. He achieved 50 years of playing the Blues in Australia and while there are many great Blues performers in Australia, he was the greatest and had the biggest personality as a showman. Keep the Faith.

The Funeral service for Dutch will be held on Tuesday 3rd of May at Mitcham Baptist Church, 8-12 Simla St, Mitcham from 11am. No Flowers please but donations to Peter Mac Cancer fund are encouraged.
