Nattali Rize (aka Natalie Magdalena Chilcote or Natalie Pa'apa'a) is an Australian musician, record producer and political activist. She began her music career as a street percussionist in Byron Bay, as well as with a local band, Skin, before forming Blue King Brown in 2003.

Rize relocated to Melbourne in 2004 to concentrate on the urban roots collective, Blue King Brown, with Carlo Santone. Their debut single, "Water", was quickly added to high rotation on Triple J, as well as earning them an AIR Chart award in 2006. Known for their strong political songs and high octane live performances, Blue King Brown have opened for local and international acts as diverse as Carlos Santana, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Damian Marley, The John Butler Trio, The Cat Empire, Silverchair, and Powderfinger. In addition to their strong national profile they have established an international presence, touring Canada, the United States, France, England and Japan. Their latest LP was partially recorded in Kingston, Jamaica, with legendary reggae producers Sly and Robbie, who have previously worked with Bob Dylan, Grace Jones and The Rolling Stones.

Rize is a social activist and has spoken out on environmental and human rights issues including people trafficking, the NT intervention, the rebuilding of Haiti and ethical consumerism. In June 2011 she appeared as a panellist on ABC-TV's talk show, Q&A.
