Hour 3: Natalie Layne on Moody Tunes

Musician Natalie Layne joins Dawn and Steve in the Morning for Moody Tunes! 

Growing up in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Natalie Layne was constantly surrounded by music. Her family instilled in her a love of music from a young age as she watched her mom sing and lead worship, and her dad play bass and trombone.  

Currently residing in Nashville, Natalie’s latest independent single “Love Me Back to Life” has gained millions of views on Instagram Reels and on TikTok where she has over 196,000 followers and 2.8 million likes on her videos. The single follows her 2021 Castles EP and 2020 independent debut Be Human which has garnered attention worldwide. The music led to opening concerts for Jeremy Camp, Chris Tomlin, and We the Kingdom, as well as sharing stages at festivals with Steven Curtis Chapman, Mandisa, and Crowder.

Playing in several Nashville-based R&B and jazz bands, Natalie graduated with a Master’s Degree in Commercial Piano from Belmont University where she also taught Fundamentals of Music classes.  In December 2022, Natalie signed an exclusive recording and publishing contract with Centricity Music, and her label debut is currently slated for fall 2023.
