Childhood & Early Life
Natalie was born on July 12, 1988, in Amsterdam, Netherlands. She is of Surinamese descent. As a child, she would often dance and sing with her younger sister. She also has two elder brothers who did not take to music. Her parents encouraged their daughters to learn music by sending them to a dance academy.
In 2008, she graduated from the ‘Lucia Marthas Dance Academy’ in Amsterdam, where she formally learnt music and dance. She was also greatly influenced by artists such as Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, and Jennifer Lopez during her early years and developed her own style of blending the old with the new as she grew up.
Soon, she wanted to pursue a career in music and realized that the Netherlands did not have much to offer in terms of a music career. Determined to fulfil her dreams, she relocated to Los Angeles, California, at the age of 20 and began her struggle to become a star.
Her initial years were difficult, as she was in a foreign country where she had to fend for herself. Her ventures with ‘Interscope Records’ and ‘Blackground Records,’ as part of an Amsterdam-based musical duo with Sigourney Korper, failed to make a mark. This made her suffer a setback till she appeared as the lead female dancer in ‘Dedication to My Ex’ by American R&B singer Lloyd, in 2011. She also appeared in the J Lewis music video titled ‘Dancing for Me.’
