Natalia Alexandra Gutiérrez Batista, artistically known as Natti Natasha, is a Dominican singer and songwriter of reggaeton, Latin pop, and bachata. She was 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 lack of success. After reevaluating her career and deciding to pursue a solo path in the urban genre, Natti, with the help of her friend, the successful music producer Link-On from Orfanato Music Group, began working on some of her tracks in his studio when, by chance, Don Omar heard her. Impressed by her talent, he collaborated with her on the song "Dutty Love." The track, which is a tropical-pop piece co-written with Don Omar, is a single from his compilation album "MTO 2: New Generation," released in 2011, with which the artists won three Billboard Latin Awards.
Later, 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 reunited 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 received a platinum disc in Spain that year.
In 2017, in collaboration with his fellow countryman Ozuna, he released the single "Criminal," which is part of the Puerto Rican's album "La Súper Fórmula." The music video for the song garnered over two billion views on YouTube and opened the door for the Puerto Rican artist to the Billboard Hot 100, the major chart for 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, alongside 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, and made the top 10 in several other Latin American countries. The track earned a Latin platinum certification in the U.S. and surpassed 100 million views on YouTube/Vevo within three weeks of its release.
Among his other well-known hits is "No me acuerdo," a collaboration with the Mexican singer Thalía from her fourth studio album, "Valiente" (2018). He also participated in the remix of "Dura" from Daddy Yankee's album "El Disco Duro" (2018), alongside Daddy Yankee, Bad Bunny, and Becky G.
Between 2018 and 2019, she has been nominated in several categories and has won more than 15 awards at the major events that recognize the best in Latin music. Her collaborations turn into instant hits that boost streams on digital platforms.
