Natalie Gauci
I Survived is a moving anthem written and performed by award-winning artist and National Survivors’ Day Ambassador, Natalie Rose Gauci. Inspired by her own journey as a Survivor, Natalie has created this powerful ballad for all those breaking their silence and finding their voice.
Raw, honest and deeply emotional, the song captures the pain of confusion and loss, before lifting into a message of resilience, faith, and peace. Accompanied only by her piano, Natalie recorded and produced “I Survived” in her home studio on the land of the Minjungbal people, her sanctuary and creative refuge.
Through her music, Natalie transforms her own experiences into a source of strength and inspiration for others, showing that healing and hope are possible.
