Congratulations to pop singer Natasha Bedingfield and businessman Matthew Robinson, who were married Saturday at the Church Estates Vineyards in Malibu. The two had been engaged for two years. In a statement, Bedingfield said, “Our wedding day was everything we’d hope it would be. It was simple, beautiful and natural. Free from trappings or formalities, it was more about expressing our love for one another in front of those we hold dearest to us than anything else.”
Natasha Bedingfield is known for her current pop hits like, “Pocketful of Sunshine,” but Bedingfield also has a long history in Christian music.
As a teenager, Bedingfield and her siblings, Daniel and Nikola, formed the short-lived Christian dance/electronic pop group, The DNA Algorithm, which performed at several Christian music festivals before disbanding.
During the 1990s and early 2000s, Bedingfield composed and recorded songs for the Hillsong London Church; in 2004, her recordings appeared on the church’s live album Shout God’s Fame and the children’s album Jesus Is My Superhero by Hillsong Music Australia. In 2006, Tony Cummings of Cross Rhythms in the UK, noted that Bedingfield, a member of the Hilsong London fellowship, had co-written songs for the Shout God’s Fame album, and predicted that she was “about to be catapulted to pop stardom.”
