ABOUT
Originally from Barranquilla, Colombia, Nathalia moved to the United States to study Music Therapy at the Berklee College of Music in Boston and later received a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University in Los Angeles. Her experience as a music therapist and early childhood music educator inspired her to use music as a tool for teaching her own children Spanish. In doing so, she had inadvertently written songs that would later become her debut children’s album. Since then, Nathalia’s unique bilingual approach to songwriting has made her a prominent voice in the world of children’s music. She has released five albums of original content, which were co-produced and performed by notable Grammy Award winners. Most recently Nathalia released her first children's book and was a grand-prize winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Competition for her song “Frida Pinta”.
Nathalia has been a featured guest on Univision's 'Despierta America’, CBS's 'The Talk' and her music has been played on SiriusXM Kid’s Place Live. She has toured extensively in the US and South America performing at notable venues such as The Wallis (Beverly Hills, CA) Wolf Trap (Vienna, VA), Skirball Cultural Center (Los Angeles, CA), Los Libros Festival (Los Angeles, CA) and many more. Nathalia cites her South American heritage and devotion for bilingual education as driving forces behind the content she creates. An active member of the Recording Academy and Latin Recording Academy, Nathalia is an advocate for music makers and enjoys leading workshops on the importance of music in education. Additionally, she is the founder and owner of First Start Music, a curriculum-baded program that serves pre-schools throughout the Greater Los Angeles area.
