Natasha Kmeto recently wrapped up 13 dates opening for TV On The Radio on their North American tour in support of their new album, Seeds, out now on Harvest Records. Natasha has now remixed TV On The Radio’s single, “Happy Idiot,” which is currently available on Beatport. Dave Sitek has said of Natasha, “TV On the Radio has a large and talented family of producers and song writers, Natasha might be one of the newest talents to add to that family, but she is hands down one of the most accomplished producers and songwriters I know of anywhere.”
Natasha Kmeto will be releasing a new album in 2015 on Dave Sitek’s label, Federal Prism, which she recently talked to Resident Advisor about.
ABOUT NATASHA KMETO:

Natasha Kmeto is a Portland-based singer and electronic producer who turns heads everywhere she goes. Armed with a taut dancefloor sensibility and a flutteringly sensuous voice, she exudes the kind of confidence that can only come from a staunch commitment to her craft. Her tracks, which she composes, produces, and performs entirely by herself, straddle the line between dance, pop, and RnB, making rhythmically intriguing compositions that slide effortlessly into the ear and send shivers down the spine. Her energy, talent, and realization of the intricate coalesce into a truly visceral live show, moving both to the party-goer and the thinking person alike. Wherever her music goes, heavy breathing will follow.

Born into a musical family in California, Natasha began to develop her talents as an artist from a young age. It wasn’t until almost two decades later, on the verge of becoming a career session musician, that she took the wheel and broke out in a direction that truly inspired her. Her artistic growth has vastly accelerated since her arrival in Portland and alliance with hometown crew Dropping Gems, and she shows no sign of slowing down. The string of releases since this period showcase Natasha in her most self-realized form, dealing in matters of love, independence, and a re-affirmed outlook on life. She released her sophomore LP, Crisis, 6/18/13 on Dropping Gems to praise from many tastemakers including NPR, Pitchfork, FADER and SPIN. Her upcoming album, Inevitable, is slated to be released in 2015 on rising label Federal Prism helmed by Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio.

Natasha’s long list of notable and acclaimed live performances includes gigs at Coachella, Bumbershoot, MusicfestNW, Symbiosis, SXSW, Low End Theory, and Decibel Festival. She has shared the stage with a number of talented artists including Fourtet, Squarepusher, Flying Lotus, Emancipator, Kid Cudi, Flume, Gold Panda, Dam Funk, Kode 9 and Shlohmo. Her radio experience includes live performances on Boiler Room and KEXP, and her tracks have been played by numerous DJs including the legendary Mary Ann Hobbes.
