Natalie Jane Imbruglia (/ɪmˈbrliə/ im-BROO-lee-ə, Italian: [imˈbruʎʎa]; born 4 February 1975) is an Australian singer-songwriter and actress.

Born and raised in New South Wales, Imbruglia became widely known in the early 1990s playing Beth Brennan in the soap opera Neighbours. After leaving the series, she moved to the UK to begin a recording career. Her 1997 debut single, a cover of Ednaswap's song "Torn", quickly became a worldwide hit, topped the US Billboard Radio Songs Chart for eleven weeks in 1998, and was listed on the 50 Best Songs of the 1990s by Rolling Stone.[1][2] Her debut album, Left of the Middle (1997), was a commercial success — earning multi-platinum certifications in the US, the UK and Australia, and selling seven million copies worldwide. Subsequent albums, including White Lilies Island (2001) and Counting Down the Days (2005), were both met with commercial declines, but received gold certifications by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).[3][4] As of 2021, Imbruglia has released six studio albums and sold over ten million album equivalent units worldwide.[5] Imbruglia has received various accolades, including eight ARIA Awards, two Brit Awards, one Billboard Music Award, one Silver Clef Award and three Grammy Award nominations.[6][7][8][9][10][11]

Imbruglia has appeared in several films, including Johnny English (2003) and Australian indie film Closed for Winter (2009). She has modelled for several brands, such as L'Oreal, Gap, and Kailis. Amongst other philanthropic work, Imbruglia served as a longtime spokesperson for Virgin Unite and campaigns to raise awareness of obstetric fistula.
