Australian singer
Born: February 4, 1975
Natalie Jane Imbruglia was born on February 4, 1975, in Sydney, Australia, to Maxene (Anderson) and Elliot Imbruglia. Her father is Sicilian (from Lipari), and her mother has English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish ancestry. She grew up in a small beach town on the New South Wales coast called Berkeley Vale. At the age of two, she began dancing and then moved into a special academy to dance six days a week. She got her first job as a TV extra on a Japanese bubble gun commercial as a “Pinnacle Princess.” She didn’t have much to do in Berkleyvale and was a “surfer girl.” At the age of 17, she was offered a two-week trial to play Beth Brennan in the Australian soap opera Neighbours (1985). She and her character became so popular that Natalie stayed on the show for two more years. After she quit the show, she went to the nearest hairdresser and had her once-long hair cut into the shorter style that we see today. She then moved to London and the party and night-club scene. During this time, Natalie decided to pursue a singing career and wrote many songs. Then she secured a recording contract and released her first album, “Left of the Middle.” Since then she has had a lot of media exposure with her album released across the world. Her TV appearances have included Saturday Night Live (1975), The David Letterman Show (1980), etc.
Natalie Imbruglia’s 5 most popular quotes
- I can understand why some people might look at me and say, ‘What’s she got to be depressed about?’ I get that a lot in Britain, where mental health issues seem to be a big taboo.
- It’s much easier to write when you’re sad. But you can end up isolated and depressed because you almost need to put yourself in that situation to have that angst to write from.
- I like singer-songwriters, and I find sad songs comforting rather than depressing. It makes you realise you’re not alone in the world.
- It was only cool to have blond hair and be a surfer chick [in Sydney]. I could learn how to surf, but I still looked Italian. It took me a long time to realize that was a good thing.
- I’ve done a lot of partying in my time because I didn’t want to go home and I didn’t know what to do.
