Natalie "the Floacist" Stewart (born 13 February 1979) is an English rapper, singer, songwriter, spoken word artist, poet, and actress. Born in Germany and raised in London, she performed in various singing and dancing competitions as a child, and rose to fame in the early 2000s as part of the R&B girl-duo Floetry. During a break, Stewart's first album, Floetic Soul (2010), was released which established her as a solo artist, with the singles "Forever" and "Let Me".

Her second solo album, Floetry Re:Birth (2012), contained singles "Say Yes", "Soul" and "Speechless". In 2014, she released a third solo album, Rise of the Phoenix Mermaid.

A self-described "modern-day poet", the Floacist creates songs that are often characterised by themes of love, relationships, and inspiration, as well as problems and solutions. In a career spanning 16 years,^[when?] she has sold over 2 million records.
