Natalie's resume is an impressive montage where experience exceeds her age! Opening for Bon Jovi, performing on stage with well-known pop artists, studying violin and voice from a young age on, performing as an opera soloist at Carnegie Hall, busking in gritty subways of NYC, winning a song writing contest to win a duet with Jean Wyclef, producing albums, and touring around the world including Alaska. That's just the tip of the iceberg!
