Natalie Gauci

1981年11月26日出生于澳洲的Natalie Gauci是一名兼有意大利和馬耳他血統的歌手。2007年11月25日，一個星期天，她在悉尼歌劇院，贏得了2007“澳洲偶像”網絡十佳音樂獎總決賽的冠軍。她是第一個憑外卡參賽，并最終贏得“澳洲偶像”的選手，也是繼加拿大的Ryan Malcolm、哈薩克斯坦的Almas Kishkenbayev和瑞典的Agnes Carlsson，第四位來自全球其他地區的冠軍。 The winner of the 2007 edition of television reality talent show Australian Idol, Natalie Gauci (born November 1981) had had a below-the-radar career in the music business for a few years before her success on television. Gauci first made inroads into pop stardom as a session musician, releasing her own work -- the EP Take It or Leave It, released in 2006 -- and starting her own band, the Natalie Gauci Band, also in 2006. Although she and her band performed around Melbourne, it was to be her roller coaster experience on Australian Idol that was to be her ticket to stardom. The first "wild card" contestant to win the top prize, Gauci's winning single was released in November 2007. Signed immediately to Sony BMG, she recorded her debut album, The Winner's Journey, which was released to the public in December 2007. The album peaked at number 11, and in January of the following year she embarked on her first national tour, the Winner's Journey Tour with Australian Idol runner-up Matt Corby.
