Born in 1966 at Namur (Belgium), Nathalie Loriers first gets a classical training but soon she picks up interest in jazz. In 1990 she gets the first price for jazz piano and harmonics at the Conservatoire Royal de Musique in Brussels.
On a short time notice she succeeds to establish herself as a first rank musician in Belgium jazz. In 1989, she then is only 23 years old, the "Association Belge des Critiques de Jazz" chooses her as "Best talent" in her country. In 1990, she wins the first price proclaiming her as "Best young soloist" at the Brussels Jazz Rally.
At the Igloo label she brings out her first recording in 1991, (under her own name) "Nymphéas" with Kurt van Herck (sax), Philippe Aerts (bass) & Mimi Verderame (drums). With this group she requires the first price at the "Concours des Radios Publiques des Pays de Langue Française (CRLPF)" which includes France, Switzerland and Canada.
In 1992, « the Radio Télévision Belge Francophone (RTBF) » offers her an exclusive program, lasting one hour during which she invited some key figures in Belgium Jazz. Since then she is a regular guest with this broadcasting company, especially in October 1994, when she performed the only jazz concert ever at the Royal Palace, together with Steve Houben.
March 1999 Nathalie receives the "Belgian's DJANGO D'OR " which gives a new impulse to her career. The year of 2000 starts with another award: She receives the EURO DJANGO, which is quite exceptional in the world of jazz.
Parallel to her career as a musician, Nathalie Loriers teaches the jazz piano since 1994 at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel , as well as in several music academies in the French community of Belgium.
