Born and raised in the Bronx, New York Natasha's vocal gift has roots in her Church singing soul stirring gospel. Word of her 7 octave vocals began to spread amongst those in the music industry and soon Natasha was hired to open for artist such as Nancy Wilson, Jon Lucien, FrEddie Jackson, Karen Clark Sheard, Shirley Caesar, Morris Day, Ray Goodman and Brown, and The Main Ingredient. Working with The Main Ingredient gave Natasha her first experience recording professionally. On the veteran group's CD "Pure Magic" she performs a duet with lead singer Carlton Blount.
