Early life[edit]

Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia, where Bassingthwaighte was born and raised.

Natalie Bassingthwaighte was born on 1 September 1975 in Wollongong, New South Wales, to Betty (born ca. 1953) and Michael Bassingthwaighte (AM)[1] (born ca. 1952).[2][3][4] Betty has worked as a theatre nurse.[4] Since 1982 Michael has worked as the CEO of a health care insurance provider.[5] Bassingthwaighte grew up in the suburb of Mount Warrigal as the second of four girls with her older sister Melinda (born ca. 1974) and the twins, Lisa and Nicole (born ca. 1982).[4][6] From a young age, she used to charge 20 cents for family and friends to come and see her dress up and put on mini concerts.[2] Bassingthwaighte got her first role in a primary school production at Balarang Primary School of Peter Pan, playing the character Tinker Bell.[2] She enrolled at Wollongong High School of the Performing Arts and graduated from the Australian College of Entertainment.[2]

After college, Bassingthwaighte successfully auditioned for a job at a theme park, Wonderland Sydney. She participated in a variety of performances, including 1950s, 1970s, country and Hanna-Barbera shows.[2] After working at Wonderland Sydney, Bassingthwaighte performed for two seasons as lead vocalist and stand-up comic at the Kaos Comedy Theatre restaurant in Sydney.[2] During that time she auditioned for other musicals. Bassingthwaighte was chosen from over 6,000 people for the role as Mrs. Cohen in the Australian tour of the rock musical, Rent (1999).[2] During Rent's tour, she auditioned for another stage production, Chicago. The casting directors were initially dubious given that she was not an A-List dancer, however she won the role of June and understudied the principal role of Roxie Hart.[2] In 2002, during Chicago's run in Perth, Bassingthwaighte and some cast and crew members decided to visit The Pinnacles, a limestone formation and tourist attraction about 190 kilometres (120 mi) north-west of Perth.[7] On the way there they became lost and their 4WD broke down; they were rescued by a Navy helicopter.[7] Her first lead role was in the Asian production Chang & Eng, which depicts the biography of the first Siamese twins; Bassingthwaighte portrayed Adelaide Yates in both the Singapore and Bangkok seasons of the show.[2]

Music career[edit]

2004–08: Rogue Traders[edit]

Bassingthwaighte had considered a music career for some years and had been a member of an R&B group, but it did not work out, and her interest focused on other options.[2] By 2004, she had begun working on her own demos: songs with an acoustic-rock sound and, later that year, she was recruited as the lead singer for Australian electro-pop band, Rogue Traders.[2] Formed in 2002 with James Ash on keyboards and Steve Davis on guitars, the group had used a variety of guest vocalists and issued a debut album before seeking a permanent singer. After being presented with the band's music, Bassingthwaighte auditioned for Ash and Davis. The pair had auditioned 15 to 20 candidates, and after she performed their song "Voodoo Child", she became the band's front-woman.[2]

In May 2005, the band released "Voodoo Child" as their fifth single—the first with Bassingthwaighte—which reached number four on the ARIA Singles Chart and was certified platinum for shipments of 70,000 units in Australia.[8][9] "Voodoo Child" also reached number seven on the New Zealand Singles Chart,[10] number three on the UK Singles Chart[11] and number fifteen on the Irish Singles Chart.[12] The single won the award for "Best Dance Video" at the 2006 MTV Australia Awards.[2] The follow-up singles "Way to Go!" and "Watching You" also reached the ARIA top ten and both were certified gold for shipment of 35,000 units.[8][9][13] In October 2005, Bassingthwaighte performed the Australian national anthem at the 2005 NRL Grand Final. Also that month Rogue Traders issued their second studio album, Here Come the Drums, which reached number two on the ARIA Albums Chart and spent a total of seventy-four weeks in the Top 50.[8] It was certified 4× platinum and became their most successful album.[14] The album received four nominations at the ARIA Music Awards of 2006 for "Breakthrough Artist – Album", "Best Pop Release", "Highest Selling Album" and "Best Group".[15]

While Bassingthwaighte was still a member of Rogue Traders, she also made solo appearances and releases. In December 2006 she performed a duet with label mate Shannon Noll on their cover version of Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush's "Don't Give Up", for the various artists' album Home: Songs of Hope & Journey. Noll and Bassingthwaighte's version reached number two on the ARIA Singles Chart.[16] She recorded "O Holy Night" for the album The Spirit of Christmas 2006, a Christmas compilation album for which all proceeds go to The Salvation Army in Australia. In 2007 Bassingthwaighte and Noll teamed up again for "Please Come Home for Christmas" on the album, The Spirit of Christmas 2007.

In October 2007 Rogue Traders released their third album, Better in the Dark, which spawned the hit singles "Don't You Wanna Feel" and "I Never Liked You"—both were certified gold, and "What You're On".[8][17] The album debuted on the ARIA Albums Chart at number four and gained a platinum accreditation.[8][14] For this album, Bassingthwaighte is credited as a co-composer for five of its twelve tracks, including all three singles.[a] She worked with Ash and his wife Melinda Appleby on some tracks, "[w]e'd sit in a room and throw ideas around … It was interesting that all three of us instinctively knew when we had a great idea".[20] At the APRA Awards of 2009, "Don't You Wanna Feel" was nominated as Dance Work of the Year.[19] In June 2008, Bassingthwaighte left the group to pursue her solo career.[21] She had signed a recording contract with Sony Music Australia in 2006 to embark on a solo career.[22] In November 2009, Rogue Traders recruited Mindi Jackson as her replacement.[23]

2008–present: 1000 Stars and subsequent ventures[edit]

In June 2008, Bassingthwaighte began working on her debut solo album, 1000 Stars. In October 2008, the album's lead single, "Alive", was released;[22] it peaked at number eight on the ARIA Singles Chart and gained a platinum certificate.[16][24] In January 2009, a second single, "Someday Soon", was issued which became Bassingthwaighte's third top-ten single on the ARIA Charts and was also certified platinum.[16][24] The album was released on 20 February 2009,[25] which debuted on the ARIA Albums Chart at number one and was certified gold.[16][26]

In April 2009, the album's title track was released as the third single. It reached number thirty on the ARIA Singles Chart.[16] "Not For You" was released in July 2009 as the fourth single and it failed to chart. The fifth single, "Love Like This", appeared in January 2010, which reached the Top 100.[27] It was used to raise awareness by the Aids Council of New South Wales for the 'Wear It With Pride' T-shirt campaign in the lead-up to that year's Sydney Mardi Gras parade.[27][28] For 1000 Stars, Bassingthwaighte co-composed seven of its fifteen tracks, including "Alive" and "Someday Soon".[b][32]

In January 2011, Bassingthwaighte returned to theatre, performing at the Sydney Opera House, in Love, Loss and What I Wore, a play "about women, their relationships and memories", where she co-starred with Judi Farr, Mirrah Foulkes, Amanda Muggleton and Magda Szubanski.[33] On 28 August 2011, Bassingthwaighte told The Daily Telegraph that she had recorded several new tracks, with her single "All We Have" expected to be released soon.[34][35] She said, "Everything is coming together … I did lose my mojo for a while, I just didn't believe in doing something unless you're totally up for it. I wasn't feeling creative and then, suddenly, it was Christmas and it just felt right".[34] "All We Have" was released in September 2011 and it failed to chart.[36] In February 2012, Bassingthwaighte was announced as a Moomba Monarch alongside Harry Kewell, the Australian socceroo.[37] In December 2014, Bassingthwaighte and other Australian singers recorded a cover version of Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work" under the name "Hope for Isla and Jude", and released it as a charity single to help raise funds for two siblings who suffer from the rare disease Sanfilippo syndrome.[38] In September 2015, Bassingthwaighte reunited with her former band Rogue Traders, performing together for the first time in seven years, at a corporate show in Gold Coast.[39] They later reunited again in December for a New Year's Eve show, where they hinted at the possibility of future shows, and confirmed that Bassingthwaighte's former replacement Mindi Jackson had given the band's reunion her blessing.[40]
