Natalie writes from her own experiences from heartache to happiness. Her candid point of view combined with her female perspective makes for straight forward lyrics. I have always preferred a direct approach over a vague message when it comes to my own music that’s why I gravitate towards country music as my main foundation even though my musical background is swamped with a mixture of pop styles as well as more traditional country classics. If it [the song] grabs my attention on more than one level then I love it, no matter what the musical style of the song or artist! It’s the common experience deriving from the heart of the artist that attracts me. I'm a huge fan of singer songwriters. Co-writing has been such a great gift. I have learned so much and I have been blessed, inspired and encouraged.
In 2009 Natalie became the US correspondent based in Nashville for the new Heatwave Country Radio Show, which is an all-new hour of fun and entertainment combined with the hottest country music on the planet. Currently heard on the KIX Country Network as well as numerous other stations, Heatwave Country is a syndicated program that is also available to every country radio station across Australia.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.
I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
