Ultra Naté is a legend of the music industry having been worshipped by pop, dance and electronic fans all over the world for over 30 years. She is the singer behind hit singles such as ‘Show Me’, ‘Free’ and ‘Love’s the Only Drug’. She became one of the first house music artists to be signed to a major label and has become an icon of the Dance LGBTQIA+ communities all over the world.
Her first single released in 1989 titled ‘It’s Over now’ became an early underground favourite and quickly cemented Ultra as one of the up-and-coming house singers. Her first album ‘Blue Notes in the Basement’ was released in 1990 and contained the revered singles ‘Rejoicing, ‘Deeper Love’, ‘Scandal’ and ‘Is It Love?’. True to her morals, when Warner Bros tried to push Ultra in a different direction, she left the major label and signed with Strictly Rhythm. It was here where she would produce her biggest hit ‘Free’. This single would reach number 75 on the U.S Billboard Hot 100, and would reach an incredible number 4 in the UK Singles Chart.
Throughout her career, Ultra has experimented with many different genres including house, soul, disco, electro pop, R&B, hip-hop and rock. This makes Ultra one of the most talented and diverse singer/songwriters to date who is well-known throughout the industry by some of the biggest stars. She has had the pleasure of collaborating with The Basement Boys, Nona Hendryx, Michelle Williams, 4 Hero and Todd Terry to name a few. A true testament to her talent, Ultra has been named as one of Billboard Magazine’s Greatest of All Time with many of her singles reaching the Top 10 of the US Hot Dance Club Party.
The definition of a timeless performance, Ultra is still performing, and selling out, on some of the biggest stages in the world. Recently she was the headline act at the prestigious Lincoln Centre, New York, and performed ‘Free’ at a sold-out Wembley Stadium for the Women’s Euro’s 2022.
