Findlay (born 7 June 1991), real name Natalie Rose Findlay, is an English musician originally from Stockport, England.
Early life
Findlay started playing the guitar when she was around 15 and after about a year began writing songs. She took up music for the simple fact that she wasn't into anything else growing up. She joked that "(she) can't really do anything else."
