About Me

It all began 22 years ago, when Natasha had her first glimpse into the world of music. Natasha grew-up in a musical family, her mother Suzanne Pasternak has had a outstanding career in music, stretching over 27 years. At the age of 5, she was allowed to travel with her mother and sit backstage to watch the going ons in a live show. It was a world she soon fell in love with, not a surprise to anyone...it was in her blood. It took 15 years to fulfill her desire to perform in a professional setting. Always a fan of the stage, Natasha found her true calling with a guitar, a mic and a tune she wrote. After paying her dues playing bars and completing her intensive 3 year degree for performing arts at the private college, Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts. She decided to take on the challenge in starting a career in the music business in Toronto. After only a year and a half, Natasha has performed on some of the best stages in Ontario including; The Horseshoe Tavern, The Mod Club, Tattoo Rock Palour, The Rivoli, The Reverb, The Cameron House, The Rainbow Room ( Ottawa ) and The Merchant ( Kingston ). Most recently she has shared those stages with Crush Luther, Magneta Lane, Low Level Flight, Amanda Rheaume, Chris Koster and the Lonely, The Emily Fennell Band, Allie Hughes and Lynzie Kent. Fresh off her first tour, "Three Chicks on Tour", Natasha and her band will be heading into The Tragically Hip's recording studio ( The Bathouse ) to record her first complete EP. She will combining forces with the greatly gifted performer/songwriter/producer, Chris Koster. Natasha is looking forward to releasing her EP in the spring and doing a small tour in Ontario to support the release.
