MC Tali (aka Natalia Sheppard) returned from London to New Zealand a decade ago. A lot has changed in the music industry since then.
MC Tali (Natalia Sheppard) returned from London to New Zealand a decade ago. It was her husband Chicorelli (Ben Sheppard) who suggested they live in Auckland, a city that somehow reminded the English drum’n’bass artist of Miami. Taranaki-born Sheppard is a Jill of all trades: singer, songwriter, music producer, teacher, author, and marriage celebrant. As told to Mikaela Wilkes. We moved back to New Zealand from the UK in 2011. Lots of people told us not to live on the Shore, it isn t cool. Whatever.
