Natalie Alberts
Hi! Welcome to my page.
I'm a busy mom of 4 that dabbles in songwriting from time to time. I haven't uploaded a lot of new material in a while. Working on that. I want to branch out into other genres. Collaborators welcome!
My strength lies in melody writing and instrumental music, and I have collaborated with many talented lyricists. Every so often I come up with a lyric on my own.
You can listen to several collaborations as well as my solo projects on my music page. If you are an artist, publisher, or rep who is interested in one or more of the songs, please contact me through the email link.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been playing piano and writing music since I was nine years old. Branched off into songwriting 20 years ago.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I performed some of my songs for a company holiday party years ago. Mostly I keep my music to myself. But I love to karaoke.
Your musical influences
I know, this is going to sound corny. I absolutely love the movie Coyote Ugly. When I saw that movie for the first time it was right around the time I began my interest in songwriting. Up until that point I had only heard of Diane Warren, and then as I heard the songs she wrote for the movie, I was like, "Yeah. That is definitely something I would enjoy doing." Let's just say the movie inspired me. Prior to that I have been inspired by new age classical pianists like Jim Brickman, David Lanz. I absolutely love most pop music, rock, pop/country hybrids, and folk country like The Chicks. But I can also enjoy various other genres depending on the content and the flow. Occasionally a *hard* rock song emerges that I can jam to. But most of the time my ears are offended. (Sorry guys* :)) Oh, and no screamo. Just no.
My daughter has been good at introducing me to a variety of indie and other music too. A lot of interesting genres have grown on me because of her. Like, I never would have found any appreciation for EDM without her lol.
What equipment do you use?
Currently using Garageband and an iPad with plug in keyboard.
Anything else?
Most of the songs are sung by myself, currently only one is sung by a professional vocalist. If you've taken the time to listen to my songs, you have my gratitude. Please feel free to leave feed back. Thanks for stopping by!
