Mini bio
How it started.
Born in London to Spanish parents, Natalia grew up between English and Spanish. Music began with piano lessons from her mother, and she later learned accordion while working with Kneehigh theatre. Busking on the London Underground gave her practice playing through indifference and helped her earn a living.
Building the band.
Natalia and violinist Sam Apley met in another band before starting their own. Molotov Jukebox formed in 2008, gradually gathering its members. Their sound draws on Latin American and Eastern European music, with accordion, violin and trumpet at its heart. Carnival Flower arrived in 2014, followed by Tropical Gypsy in 2016.
Two creative lives.
Her screen career began with About a Boy in 2002. Playing Tonks in the Harry Potter films and Osha in Game of Thrones brought her to a wider audience, while 10,000 km earned major acting awards. In a 2023 interview, she described the difficulty of fitting film auditions around concerts booked months ahead. In January 2026, she said she wanted to focus that year on Molotov Jukebox’s next album.
