Hailing from Bern, Switzerland, Naturetone started making beats in the early 90s as a producer and MC with Swiss rap group 3 Tree Posse. Heavily inspired by the Native Tongue movement, the trio released two independent albums in 1993 and 1995, before they disbanded and Naturetone went on a lengthy hiatus. After nearly ten years away from the craft, he made a quiet return to the world of hip hop, focusing on remix work and building a catalog of new beats, culminating in his 2010 release, the Japanese-themed instrumental album Nihon.
