I've worked with Grammy winning producers and musicians [Michael League of Snarky Puppy] as well as a multitude of emerging local artists and musicians. Some important skills I've learned in my experience as an artist and as a band leader are listening, organizing and management. Listening to my instincts while also listening to direction, constructive criticism, and the needs of others. Keeping myself organized while preparing materials for band mates and venues. Managing my time independently as well as managing time for rehearsals or studio time, in addition to managing personnel for projects or performances. I have independently recorded and released music projects distributed on major platforms having recorded vocals at professional recording studios as well as at home. I'm able to record from home having proficient basic knowledge of recording high quality material with professional microphones and using Logic Pro as my DAW as well as some basic editing skills. --- **Employment and project experience** **01-EP** NATALIE FORTEZA _Released November 2015_ **Side by Side** NATALIE FORTEZA _Released October 2018_ **I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For** NATALIE FORTEZA _Released October 2018_ **Waiting in Vain** NATALIE FORTEZA _Released February 2019_ **Side by Side (Guitar Version)** NATALIE FORTEZA _Released February 2020_ **Who's She** NATALIE FORTEZA _Released April 2021_ **What Christmas Should Always Be** NATALIE FORTEZA _Released November 2021_WWWWI'm a singer-songwriter who specializes in achieving a soulful presence that's emotive without having to over perform, creating a natural vibe or mood to projects.
