My name is Natalie. I am a singer/songwriter from Toronto. My dad is from Italy and my mom is from Canada :). I have been singing for over 13 years and absolutely love pop/classical crossover music. I admire singers like Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion because they sing from their heart. I think this is what music should be about!
As a young teen, I decided to write a song called “Power like No Other.” A song about how all of us have a power to make a difference. It is one of my goals in life to inspire as many people as I can, through music, to get involved in helping those less fortunate. I have performed this song at many schools, charities, and fundraising events in Ontario and Quebec. I have also put it up on ITunes to raise money for a charity called Hopeair. Hopeair provides funds and services to help accommodate those who cannot afford to travel for medical treatment.
Below is a formal Biography which tells you everything I have been fortunate to do!

Thank you for the chance to hear your music and for the joy you have given me. May you have great success and a wonderful career. Thank you for being my friend.
In every change that you experience in life, there will be times when you'll wonder if you can endure. But you'll learn that facing each difficulty one by one isn't so hard. It's when you don't deal with a situation that it sometimes comes back to confront you again. Changes are sometimes very painful, but they teach us that we can endure and that we can become stronger. Everything that comes into your life has a purpose, but the outcome is in your hands by the action you take. Be wise with your life, be willing to endure, and always be willing to face life's challenges

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence... Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.

DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany) new cd february 2010!
When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country.
But, it too, seemed immovable.
As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it.
And now as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: If I had only changed my self first, then by example I would have changed my family.
From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country and, who knows, I may have even changed the world.
In that dark lonesome place between a dream dreamed and a dream realized, I have left a little light for you so you will know that someone cares and believes in your dream. Just where it becomes the most dark and difficult to find your way, there is the light I left for you. It will light your way, through the doubt, the confusion, and the fears, It will stay with you all the way to the realization of your dream. And when your dream has come true, please go back to that darkest place where you have been, And set the little light there to give heart to the next sweet soul that braves the path to his or her dreams. Dreamers are the architects of greatness. There wisdom lies within their souls. Dream long enough and hard enough and your dream can be attained.
Always aim higher than you believe you can reach. So often, you'll discover that when your talents are set free by your imagination, you can achieve any goal.
If people offer their help or wisdom as you go through life, accept it gratefully. You can learn much from those who have gone before you. But never be afraid or hesitant to step off the accepted path and head off in your own direction if your heart tells you that it's the right way for you.
Always believe that you will ultimately succeed at whatever you do, and never forget the value of persistence, discipline, and determination.
You are meant to be whatever you dream of becoming.
