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 lack of success. After reevaluating her career and deciding to embark on a solo path in the urban genre, Natti, alongside her friend, the successful music producer link- On of Orfanato Music Group, started working in his studio on some of her songs when, by chance, Don Omar heard her. Impressed by her talent, he recorded the song "Dutty Love" with her. The track, which is tropical and pop in style and co-written by Don Omar, is a single from Don Omar's compilation album MTO 2: New Generation, released in 2011, with which the artists won three Billboard Latin Awards.
Later, he recorded some 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 compatriot 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 of the top 100 best-selling singles in the United States. As a result of 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, they 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 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 other Latin American countries. The track achieved a Latin platinum certification in the U.S. and surpassed 100 million views on YouTube/Vevo in the three weeks following its release.
Among his other well-known hits is "No me acuerdo" in collaboration with the Mexican singer Thalía, from her fourth studio album, Valiente (2018). The remix of Dura (from Daddy Yankee's album El Disco Duro, 2018) features Daddy Yankee, Bad Bunny, and Becky G.
Between 2018 and 2019, she was nominated in several categories, winning 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.
