"Natalie rose to stardom mostly due to her position as a cheerleader on the NBA court for the Houston Rockets. She always had high hopes of becoming a singer and was a big fan of artists like Jadakiss, Usher, Gwen Stefani and Beyonce while growing up. Her dancing skills were put to use by her role as a backup dancer for many R&B artists and rap artists throughout Houston. It was during one of these sessions that a producer took notice of the young Natalie and concluded that she would likely have substantial success as a musical artist. Natalie had no hesitation as this was her ultimate goal, and since then she has taken on the role of R&B singer and captured the hearts of fans around the world.Right after she joined forces with record producer Charles Chavez, who has worked with other successful musicians like Baby Bash, Chamillionaire and Frankie J., she began working on recording sessions, and what resulted was a sure-fire hit, the ballad called ""Goin' Crazy."" The emotional and heart-wrenching tune made waves throughout the R&B industry, generating her many fans around the world. Her self-titled debut album was released in May 2005, and it reached the impressive number 16 spot on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart. Two other singles besides ""Goin' Crazy"" became hot radio hits, those songs were ""Energy"" and ""Where Are You.""2006 saw the release of Natalie's sophomore effort, this one titled Everything New. The album is chock-full of easy to dance to numbers, which include ""Turnin' Me On"" and ""Dance With Me."" Arguably, the most popular track on the album continues to be the opening song, ""What You Gonna Do?"" If you like getting energized and are looking for a reason to get out on the dance floor, don't pass up the incredible voice of Natalie. She will surely blow you away with her sultry R&B hits."
