Bio
A recent interview with Natalie:
"How did I get here? Man, it seems like my life has been some kind of narrow road that I took through decision and through indecision.
I started playing piano at the age of 9 and studied classically until recently. But really, what got me to where I am now was when I learned how to combine my classical playing and chords/playing by ear. I was 14 and this opened up a whole new world to me.
I had grown up listening to oldies- MoTown, The Beatles, John Denver, Aretha Franklin, Chicago...all beautiful and funky at the same time. Through high school and college I ventured into classic singer/songwriters- James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell- and newer acts like Sarah McLachlan, Damien Rice, Ben Folds, Bjork, Lauryn Hill, Norah Jones, Fiona Apple.
Throughout all of this musical exploration I started writing songs based out of my love for the piano and my heart for blues inspired singer/songwriters.
I was chosen to study in an artists colony on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts in 2001. I had a defining moment where I had to choose whether to live my comfortable life or to leave everything I knew and risk being vulnerable to others, my music...even myself. I decided to take the trip and have never looked back."
Natalie's intense, awe-inspiring vocals refuse to take the back seat in any situation. Her remarkable ability to powerfully shake a chorus, or eerily back off on a melodic tag enable her to create energetic and exciting performances that are enjoyed by all who listen.
