Natalia Noemi Keery-Fisher (born 15 August 1986), professionally known as Teddy Sinclair or, previously, Natalia Kills is an English singer and actress.
As Natalia Kills, Sinclair released her debut album, Perfectionist, in 2011, and her second album, Trouble, in September 2013. In 2014, she married boyfriend Willy Moon, who is also a singer. In 2015 the couple were featured as judges on the second season of the New Zealand version of The X Factor, but after the season's first live show they were fired after their scathing remarks towards a contestant were deemed unacceptable by broadcaster TV3. As of July 2015, she now goes by and performs under her legal name Teddy Sinclair. In 2016, she started a three piece girl band, Cruel Youth. Their first song, "Mr. Watson", was released on Soundcloud in February, followed by "Diamond Days" in April. Their third single, "Hatefuck", was released early September along with the announcement of their debut EP +30mg. At the 59th Annual Grammy Awards, she received a Grammy Award for Best R&B Song nomination for co-writing Rihanna's song "Kiss It Better".
Sinclair was born Natalia Noemi Keery-Fisher in Bradford, West Yorkshire, to a British father of Afro-Jamaican heritage and a Uruguayan mother, and attended Bradford Girls' Grammar School. Her family left Bradford when she was a child and she spent her early years travelling between England, Jamaica and Spain.
