About Me

Natasha Collette's newest project is a CD entitled "VIDA", which combines spoken word, song, and underscore to tell an unforgettable tale of love. Set in the middle ages, the story is told in the language and poetic form of the Troubadours; the score gives it a lush emotional backdrop. It is available online through cdfreedom.com, cdbaby.com, and amazon.com. You can hear samples & learn more about the historical background at www.natashacollette.com. Natasha is a musician & artist living in Boston. Her education includes studies at Boston University, and a degree from Berklee College of Music in Film Scoring. Some of her recent performances include renaissance faires (King Richard's Faire, New Hampshire R.F., Vermont R.F., Louisiana R.F.); and live music for theater (Actor's Shakespeare Project).
