Musical Snapshots of ordinary moments with extraordinary consequences. True, I have had my life changed at the DMV, I've validated my own religious & spiritual views at Walgreens and at a gas station. I've found kindness at McDonalds. These are the kinds of things I write and sing about. I also create and produce performance pieces that generally involve universal and social themes. Through songs, stories, and photographs, thoughts are illustrated on subjects ranging from self-discovery at unlikely places (Nattie @ the DMV), self-respect in a world of pick-up lines and good drinkin’ times (My G-String is Out of Tune) and self-worth learned from lessons as a substitute teacher (Nattie and the Class of 2019)
My latest project and performance piece is a chronicle of my World Tour.

When I began performing live, I was terrified and created the stage name - Nattie.
Nattie is best summed up by the song "Cowgirl". It was written in 2005 after trying desperately to figure out what I was doing and why I thought I had any business writing songs. I realized while driving down Napoleon Avenue one day that all I had to do to get over my fear of writing and performing was to channel my Inner Cowgirl. 7 years later, I'm finally confident enough to use my own name....though I think "Natasha & her Nattie Concepts" is a suitable band name these days.
Cowgirl (2005)
I'm just a simple cowgirl living in the city. Drinking lots of ponies on a barstool writing ditties. The tunes might seem simple and the subjects might seem bare. It's the little things that matter to me and the rest, well, I just don't care.
I don't care about gossip, like who is sleeping with who. I don't care about money, I just want to buy some food. All I really care about is living a life that's true. Help make the world a better place - it's the best we all can do.
I watch the state of our world on the evening news. I shake my head and wonder "where's the other views"? It's the power of the half hour to spread hatred and fear - tell me a story about a little kind boy and that's what I'd rather hear.
I could write about philosophy or the love of my life. I could write about indigent workers and their plight. But the other day a stranger said "hey" and he gave me a little smile. It's a little known fact that one kind act could last - for a thousand miles.
So I'll write about nothing when it means something to me. I even found happiness down at the DMV. All I really care about is living a life that's true. I'll tell you a story that brought me joy - it's the best that I can do.
See, I'm just a simple cowgirl who's living in the city. I'm drinking lots of ponies on a barstool writing ditties. The tunes, they might seem simple, and the subjects, they might seem bare. It's the little things that matter to me and the rest, well, I just don't care.
