​Juneteenth: A Celebration Deferred​

​Natalie may be considered a phenom in the world of today's music culture. Her musical experience began during her childhood years as she and her five sisters sang as “The Cadet Sisters”. She was blessed as a child prodigy with the ability to not only sing, but also, she played piano by ear before receiving formal training.  After nurturing her God given skills, She catapulted herself, through sheer desire  and love for music, to attain a Bachelor's degree in Vocal Performance and  Pedagogy from Oakwood University in Boston; she also received a Master's  degree in Contemporary Improvisation from the New England Conservatory.  
​
She made her imprint on the music world in 2016 by releasing her solo debut album entitled My Journey. The album showcased her rich vocal range with an influence of jazz, pop, and r&b song selections. Most recently she has written and released several singles that can be found on Google and other streaming services. Those projects have involved Natalie with her skilled writing, singing, producing and her ability to do song arrangements.  

​Her talents and versatility have garnered the attention from other’s prominent in the  world of music such as Carl Gustafson, a Grammy nominated producer with  whom Natalie demonstrated her range of skills in music written for over 50 songs involving nearly 500 singers and musicians, including many Grammy  nominees. Yet there are other distinguished accolades of which she can boast, is that she has gained the experience to do musical works associated with 7 different languages.
