Natacha Atlas (born 20 March 1964) is an Egyptian-British singer known for her blend of Arabic and Western music, particularly hip-hop.
She once referred to her music as "cha'abi moderne" (modern popular music).
Maghrebain, hip hop, drum and bass, and reggae have all influenced her music. Atlas began her career as part of the Transglobal Underground, a worldwide fusion company.
With the introduction of Diaspora in 1995, she began to concentrate on her solo career.
She has since released seven solo albums and appeared in several collaborations.
Her version of "Mon amie la rose" became a huge success in France, debuting at 16 on the French Singles Chart in 1999.
Myriad Road, her most recent creation, was announced on October 23, 2015.
It was produced by French Lebanese jazz musician Ibrahim Maalouf.
Early life
Natacha Atlas was born in Brussels of Anglo Egyptian origins. In the 1970s, her British mother became a Buddhist. Her father, who is of Egyptian descent, was deeply interested in Sufi mysticism and Gurdjief's fourth path philosophy, as well as Chinese medicine and Taoism.
Atlas was raised listening to music from both east and west, and during her upbringing, she learned to be tolerant of both faiths.
Atlas and her mother moved to Northampton, England, after her parents' divorce.
Atlas grew up speaking French and English, and later learned Arabic and Spanish. She sings in many languages, including modern colloquial Arabic, but she admits she is not entirely comfortable with it.
Personal life
Atlas married Syrian kanun player Abdullah Chhadeh in 1999. In 2005, the couple divorced.
Atlas was in a relationship with British Egyptian violinist Samy Bishai, who produced her 2010 release Mounqaliba. The couple divide their time between London and France.
Atlas has said in the past that she is "scientically Muslim" and that she associates with Sufism. She also stated that her father has some Sephardic Jewish ancestry. "I'm Anglo-Middle Eastern these days, and leave the faith out of it," Atlas said. She is, however, open to other forms of spirituality because "being tolerant is crucial."
She was named by Mary Robinson as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Conference Against Racism in 2001. "She conveys the message that there is a lot of diversity," Robinson says of Atlas. Our differences, whether ethnic, racial, or religious, are a source of wealth that can be embraced rather than feared." She was a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Conference Against Racism.
Atlas is a proponent of the Zeitgeist Movement. In her 2010 album Mounqaliba, she included clips from Zeitgeist: Addendum.

Atlas has always expressed her opinion about the way both she and Transglobal Underground were seen by the UK press back in the 1990s/early 2000s. "Someone from the New Musical Express rang us about a feature we're going to do with," the producer explained. In other words, the fad is over. And I'm personally insulted... what other way is there for us? "I'm sick of it all."
