The title of Natalia Mateo’s album, “De Profundis” - meaning ‘out of the depths’ in Latin - sets the tone: the inspirational well-springs for her music are both personal and profound. Thoughtful, original compositions and highly personal adaptations of songs reflect her story set against a backdrop of East and West, a life punctuated by changes of surroundings, by departures which lead to fresh beginnings.

"This voice has its own story to tell," says Die ZEIT about Natalia Mateo. The FAZ hears "jazz blossoms with deep roots." Born in 1983, Natalia Mateo is a wanderer between worlds - musically and in life. Born in Poland, raised in Austria, and now living in Germany, she has absorbed and incorporated a wide range of impressions and cultures: Mateo draws from Slavic song traditions, American jazz, singer-songwriters from Joni Mitchell to Amy Macdonald, as well as contemporary pop and rock music. The Jazzpodium writes about the singer: "Mateo's voice has something crystalline, something melancholic and brittle. It sounds vulnerable - but not wounded. Self-assured, without even the slightest hint of elitism."
