About Natalie
Early Life
Natalie grew up on Long Island in New York. With the close proximity to the arts mecca of New York City, she felt right at home surrounded by the performing arts. She started voice and piano lessons at six years old, and grew up with an undeniable passion for music and performance. Notable moments as a young singer included performing as a contestant on the FOX network television series “Live In Hollywood” in Los Angeles, singing Céline Dion in front of a live studio audience. She also won first place in the Knicks Halftime Talent Show at Madison Square Garden for the NY Knicks, singing and playing the piano to Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind” at 14 years old for thousands of spectators. As a budding musician, another moment of note was singing with the Metropolitan Youth Choir at Lincoln Center as the soprano soloist in Mozart’s Kyrie.

These compositions were featured in performances with Every Voice Choirs (EVC), a not-for-profit organization providing musical training to under-developed communities in New York. During her time composing and arranging for EVC, Natalie also served as the Director of EVC's Vocal Technique Across Genres, an ensemble for high school choral singers.
