Nathassia (also known as Nathassia Devine) is a Dutch-born singer, songwriter and electronic music artist currently residing in London, UK. She has been described as "The new face of dance culture" and "This generations Kate Bush".[1] In April 2016, Nathassia made history as being the first electronic music artist to perform at Valley of the Kings in Luxor Temple, Egypt[2] at the Nefertiti International Fashion Festival.[3] In August 2016, Nathassia was featured on the Channel 4 TV show The Casting Couch.[4]

Nathassia's debut studio album, Light Of The World (genre: alternative pop, electronic) was released on the 1st of June 2016 by Inter-dimensional Recordings. Nathassia co-produced the album with some of the UK’s leading underground electronic music producers including British Dubstep producer Stenchman and chose to write several songs with Grammy award winning writer/producer Bruce Elliott-Smith.[5] The first two singles that were released from the album, "Contagious" and "Turning Headz", gained support from the likes of e.g. Eddy Temple Morris, BBC 6, Kiss Fm and MIXMAG.[6]

Multi-million selling Universal A&R Eddie Gordon described the album Light Of The World as "Unique song creations that show a connection to something much higher than the normal mind",[7] American music magazine Love is Pop said about the album: "Light Of The World is one of the best albums I’ve ever heard in my life, period!"[8] and critically acclaimed writer Christopher Nosnibor said "Light Of The World stands as a truly multidimensional piece."[9]
