From a very young age, she had admired artists such as Bob Marley and Jerry Rivera, and especially Lauryn Hill, whom she still names as one of her favorites. Natasha also expressed that she has followed and admired Ivy Queen since the beginning of Queen's career, with Queen responding via Twitter: "Thanks for the respect, admiration. That's having class and more than anything intelligence". When she was 18, she moved to the Bronx hoping to make it in the "City of Dreams". There, she met reggaeton veteran Don Omar who then signed her to his record label. She also was an engineer and worked at a Makeup factory.

As a result, Natalia decides to put in a brief pause her short musical career.
