Natalie started her singing career at the age two, and spent her summers in the studios, at family jam sessions and performing with her father. Her grandfather was also a musician. She spent her childhood watching her father's band play and began sitting in onstage when she was just a little kid. Growing up in a family like the Maines family, it's hard not to become musical. At the age of 4, she was discovered standing on a desk at the hospital where her mother worked, giving a note-perfect rendition of 'Greased Lightnin'. In school, she would say, "Oh, I don't wanna do this math and science. I'm gonna be a star."
And a star she wanted to be. Her start was on piano when she was 12 and she most recently has started bass guitar. She was a performer throughout her childhood, culminating in a spot on the high school cheerleading squad and a vocal scholarship to the Berklee School of Music in Boston in 1994. The best advice that she's gotten - "My parents telling me to stay true to myself, to do what I want to do and have passion about whatever it is I'm doing."So far, Natalie has sung on several albums by well known Texas artists. When Martie and Emily called Natalie to ask her to be their new lead singer, Natalie said she had a volleyball game that night and the next day a big Economic test. But about 4 days later, she checked out of college and started singing. Now when she's out on the road, she is addicted to the treadmill, to help her stay in shape.
Natalie made her big screen debut in the independent movie called, "Grand Champion." She along with George Strait, Julia Roberts and Bruce Willis all had small parts in the movie. Natalie portrayed a West Texas DJ named Fiona with big hair and blue eye shadow at one of the steer shows.
