Natalia Alexandra Gutiérrez Batista, artistically known as Natti Natasha, is a Dominican singer and songwriter of reggaeton, Latin pop, and bachata, born in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, on December 10, 1986.

At the age of 14, she began composing and recording her own songs and formed the musical group "D'Style," which disbanded due to its lack of success. After reevaluating her career and deciding to launch herself as a solo artist, trying her luck in the urban genre, Natti, with the help of her friend, the successful music producer link- On from Orfanato Music Group, started working on some of her tracks in his studio when, by chance, Don Omar heard her. Impressed with her talent, he recorded the song Dutty Love with her. This tropical pop track, co-written with Don Omar, is a single from the compilation album MTO 2: New Generation, released in 2011, with which the artists won three Billboard Latin Music Awards.

Later, he recorded some songs such as: "Your Memory," "Together We Can Fly" with Henry Santos, "Grind," "They Told You Remix" with Plan B, among others. He also collaborated with Farruko on "Crazy In Love." In 2015, Don Omar and Natti reunited to record the song "Lost in Your Eyes," which is part of the sixth album by the Puerto Rican reggaeton artist The Last Don 2. The song surpassed 100 million views on Vevo and won platinum certification in Spain that year.

In 2017, in collaboration with her compatriot Ozuna, she released the single Criminal, from the Puerto Rican's album La Súper Fórmula. The music video for the song achieved over two billion views on YouTube and opened the door for the Puerto Rican to the Billboard Hot 100, the major chart of the 100 best-selling singles in the United States. Following this success, Natti Natasha became the most searched woman on the Internet in 2017.

In 2018, together with the American singer of Mexican descent, Becky G, she released "Sin pijama." Produced among others by Daddy Yankee, the song was released as the fifth single from Becky G’s debut Spanish album, becoming the third top 10 hit for Becky and Natasha on the US Hot Latin Songs chart. It reached number one in Bolivia and Spain, as well as the top 10 in other Latin American countries. The track achieved a Latin platinum certification in the US and surpassed 100 million views on YouTube / Vevo within three weeks of its release.

Among her most well-known hits is "No me acuerdo" in collaboration with the Mexican singer Thalía, from Thalía's fourth studio album, Valiente (2018). The remix of Dura (album El Disco Duro by Daddy Yankee 2018), along with Daddy Yankee, Bad Bunny, and Becky G.
