Natalia Quintanilla
Mexico City
Composer, Producer, and Multi-instrumentalist

Born in Mexico City, Natalia Quintanilla is an electro-acoustic music artist, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist currently based in Detroit, Michigan. She studied composition and music theory at the Centro de Investigación y Estudios Musicales (CIEM) and is currently completing her M.A. in Media Arts in the Performing Arts Technology department at the University of Michigan.
Natalia’s music has been performed throughout prestigious places in Mexico, the USA, Austria, Slovenia and the UK. In 2021 she released her independent music as her solo project Nati Bu, which is based on digital audio processing, acoustic instruments, electronic beats, and synthesizers.

Her work is inspired by the relationship between humans and their bond with the intangible — dreams, the ever-changing connection with nature, and things that can’t be explained.
