Born on June 13, 1972, in Troy, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, MacMaster is a heralded proponent of the Cape Breton fiddle tradition, a style deeply rooted in Scottish Highland settler communities. She began playing the fiddle at the tender age of nine, quickly demonstrating a prowess that would carry her far beyond her small-town roots.

Over the years, Natalie MacMaster has curated a discography that showcases both the depth of her musical heritage and her innovative spirit. From her early work, which includes albums like "Fit As A Fiddle" and "No Boundaries," she established herself as a master of her craft, deftly weaving traditional tunes with contemporary flair. Her skillful artistry and passionate performances shine through in recordings like "In My Hands" and the Juno Award-winning album "My Roots Are Showing." A true family person, Natalie often collaborates with her husband, fellow musician Donnell Leahy, which is beautifully captured in projects like "A Celtic Family Christmas." Her 2019 release, "Sketches," is a testament to her enduring artistic vitality and her ability to enchant a new generation of listeners, solidifying Natalie MacMaster's status as an icon of fiddle music.
