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 pursue a solo path in the urban genre, Natti, alongside her friend and successful music producer Link-On from Orfanato Music Group, started working on some of her tracks in his studio when she was fortuitously heard by Don Omar. Impressed by her talent, he recorded the song "Dutty Love" with her. This tropical and pop track, which she co-wrote with Don Omar, is a single from his compilation album "MTO 2: New Generation," released in 2011, and it earned the artists three Billboard Latin Awards.
Subsequently, he recorded several tracks such as: “Tu recuerdo,” "Juntos podemos volar" with Henry Santos, "Grind," "Te dijeron Remix" with Plan B, among others. He also collaborated with Farruko on "Crazy In Love." In 2015, Don Omar and Natti came together again to record the song "Perdido en tus Ojos," which is part of the Puerto Rican reggaeton artist's sixth album, The Last Don 2. The song surpassed 100 million views on Vevo and earned a platinum record in Spain that year.
In 2017, in collaboration with her compatriot Ozuna, she released the single "Criminal," which was part of the Puerto Rican artist'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 artist to the Billboard Hot 100, the prestigious chart for the 100 best-selling singles in the United States. Following this success, Natti Natasha was the most searched woman on the internet in 2017
In 2018, alongside the American singer of Mexican descent, Becky G, she released "Sin pijama." Produced, among others, by Daddy Yankee, the song was launched as the fifth single from Becky G's debut Spanish-language album, becoming the third top 10 hit for both 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 several other Latin American countries. The song achieved platinum certification in the U.S. and surpassed 100 million views on YouTube/Vevo within three weeks of its release.
Among her most famous hits are "No me acuerdo," a collaboration with Mexican singer Thalía from Thalía's fourth studio album, "Valiente" (2018). Additionally, there is the remix of "Dura" (from Daddy Yankee's album "El Disco Duro," 2018), featuring Daddy Yankee, Bad Bunny, and Becky G.
Between 2018 and 2019, she was nominated in several categories and won more than 15 awards at major events that recognize the best in Latin music. Her collaborations turn into instant hits that soar in streams across digital platforms.
