Until the end of April, Ev Natacha was our alto section lead. She is an only child born and raised in North Vancouver, BC. Ev attended Queen Mary Elementary followed by high school at Carson Graham. Being naturally soft-spoken and somewhat shy during her formative years — music (more specifically singing), provided Ev with an outlet for expression and solace.
Throughout high school, significant participation in the choral program, along with modern ballet and theatre made those 5 years a wonderfully delicious time. Performing on stage enabled her to come out of her shell, as well as travel to far off places such as Japan and throughout Europe for various International Music festivals and concerts.
Upon graduation, Ev enrolled in the Classical Voice Diploma Program at Vancouver Community College (VCC) she then transferred to the Vancouver Academy of Music (VAM) to complete her BA in Opera Performance.
At age 22, just after university, Ev courageously set out for a backpacking solo around Europe, gallivanting cobble stone streets, serenading the birds, bees and trees along the way with her trusty guitar in hand and a song in her heart. Once back home, Ev began frequenting open mic nights, performing her original tunes and networking with other local singer-songwriters — later recording and releasing a full-length CD of originals titled “Ready To Fall”.
As most creatives require a “day job” Ev is currently employed as a Medical Office Assistant at a busy Podiatry Clinic in West Vancouver, which she loves because the clerical work balances out her creative endeavours.
In her private life, Ev is a huge fitness fanatic and a self-proclaimed “gym rat” with weightlifting and strength-training being her primary focus.
Where might you find Ev on a sunny day off? Most likely singing and playing her guitar under a tree. It’s her peaceful time.
