From an early age Natalie dreamed of being famous. Now on her new single ‘Fame’, she explains that fame is about learning to choose to do good things through love, instead of the bad things, through blocking pain. ‘I recall blowing my candles out on every birthday, wishing to be famous. Now I look back and think, hmmm, why did I want to be famous? I wanted to make a difference in the world”
Fame finally arrived for Gauci in 2007 when she gained massive national overnight recognition after winning Australian Idol.
Gauci subsequently signed a record deal with Sony BMG Australia. Her debut single, ‘Here I Am’ released in November that year, reached #2 on the ARIA Singles Chart and gained a gold accreditation.
The following month saw the release of her debut album, ‘A Winner’s Journey’ which reached #11 on the ARIA Albums Chart and was certified platinum.
International success followed with a charting single and album in the UK, Sweden, Germany and Denmark. She toured the UK and Europe and held down a residence at Ronnie Scott’s in London. Other highlights included: Henley On Thames Music Festival UK (with Chaka Khan), In The City Festival Manchester, Sofa Sounds London, TEDx London, FestiBall, Buckinghamshire UK Festival, Walk The Walk Breast Cancer Charity Festival and The Big Umbrella Charity Event Kathmandu.
In a classic case of ‘be careful what you wish for’, Gauci learnt that being famous also had a downside as she illustrates on her new song; “Fame got me wanting all the bad things, the bad things, shame it brought the sad things” Gauci laments.
“Writing ‘Fame’ made a difference to my life; it made me realise it’s not about the fame, it’s about honouring the gifts I’ve been given”
All proceeds from the sales of Natalie’s forthcoming album, ‘Brand New Day’, are going to support her charity, A Call to Wisdom which will help people who have broken parts that require healing from sexual abuse, trauma and domestic violence.
“Brokenness is leading to homelessness and what we need now more than ever is hope” says Gauci
New single ‘Fame’ is available on all digital platforms Friday 29 th September.
Album ‘Brand New Day’ will be released in 2024
Multi-award-winning Australian singer-songwriter Natalie Gauci makes a welcome
return to the airwaves this month with her catchy new country-fused pop track ‘I
Thought It Was You’.
Co-written with popular country music artist and former Baby Animals bassist Matt
Cornell, ‘I Thought It Was You’ is a song about Natalie’s biggest and most
heartbreaking end to a relationship she has ever experienced.
Natalie explains: “I was stuck in a relationship in New York that was hurting my heart
and also not healthy for me being five months pregnant”.
She made the decision to leave the United States and head home alone ready to
sing, in Australia and build a new life, as an Aussie artist and single mum. It has been
a successful decision.
‘I Thought It Was You’ acoustic version allows Natalie to go deeper into her emotions about how far she has come since this part of her life accured over 5 years ago.
It’s a very inspirational story which tells of a broken relationship which can be really hard to break out of. After writing this song, Natalie wrote a book called “How To Get Out of a Broken Relationship, in 7 steps” which explains how she built a relationship with Jesus to move forward and get out of her broken relationship, to help and inspire others who feel stuck. There is a way out. “I Thought It Was You” is Natalie’s sad anthem of victory, looking back believing he was the one, instead her perfect mistake was her son, the blessing of all blessings. You can stream her song 29th Nov 2025 and buy her book right here on her website. If you are reading this right now, it’s no coincidence, you’re meant to be here for a reason! Could be time to get out of that broken relationship, and take that next step.
