Growing Pains

I am putting up this blog to thank all of you for adopting this perfectly imperfect starchild that is Natassja, and for giving me your attention and support in the amazingly selfless way that you have.

As everyone can see, I'm growing. With your encouragement and positive re-inforcement I am learning to take giant steps where yesterday I was taking baby steps. With your continued support I envision myself taking leaps and bounds into the future.

I am a songwriter/singer who may not have the polish or finesse of a more seasoned artist, but in my own inimitable way, I present my art to you the way a painter would his or her canvas: showing a perspective of the world that can only be seen through that artist's eyes, in the way that he or she sees it and paints it, purely.

So if the timbre of my voice does not resemble Mariah's or Whitney's, or if my tone doesn't have the warm sweet embrace like Sade's or Janet's, or if my pipes are not as strong and distinct like Erykah's or Ayo's, I do not want you to be disappointed... for it is important to note that I am only doing Natassja in only the way that Natassja can express herself musically. But as I grow I will become better at what I do on all fronts.

Because I have received nothing but love and encouragement from the most amazing pool of friends that I have been blessed with finding, this is not a complaint. It is the realization that my challenge will only become greater as I stretch my boundaries. So if you see me huddling a little closer to you at times or digging a little deeper, it's because I'm growing and with that growth comes growing pains... But having said that, I'm ready for the long haul, yes I am!

Thank you for the love.

Music Journal No. 3

Hello beautiful starchildren! This is yet another blog to update my friends on the "goings-on" in the world of cosmic starchild Natassja. As you are already aware, I am in the studio working on new music for the full album to be released sometime around the late spring/early summer this year.

Well, so far, I've shared three songs and an intro with you. And you guys were very helpful by letting me know which songss you liked. You gave me excellent and constructive feedback on:
Kozmik Sutraa
Flow
Gravity
XTC

The next song that I will be posting over the next few days is:
Love Comes to Shore

Well, that's it family! Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I'll be glad to answer them for you as best as I can. In the meantime, don't forget to look out for Love Comes to Shore to be posted sometime between now and Wednesday of next week. Your input means everything to me.

Love you much,
~Natassja~

p.s. Claudio thanks for your input! ;o)

Dance Mix of Gravity

Hello again beautiful people and cosmic starchildren! I will keep this blog short and sweet. I've put up a new track on the player titled Gravity - Sky Lukewalker Mix - which is a re-mix of one of my existing tracks. And, yes fam, the Luke Skywalker thing has already been done, but he and the pioneers before him like Afrika Bambaataa obviously influenced this track - hence the play on the name Sky Lukewalker. As you've probably already guessed, the track is a dance mix of the song "Gravity" and I've set it for download. So do not hesitate to download it if you like.

Enjoy!
