Background:
Born Nathalie Armand, August 31, 1980 in Port-Au-Prince Haiti. Raised in the streets of Brooklyn, New York, this young, beautiful and full of life Singer/ Model knew she was destined to play a major role in her country and culture. Nathalie also known as Natico (later, Tico) started singing at the age of 8 with her uncle Jessie and his old guitar. Mesmerized by every note and key singers like Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston, she soon realized that music can warm a once cold heart, that music can allow you to feel and music can bring peace of mind to all.

Goals:
Not to try to write songs that she believe will be hits however to write songs that people can relate to and call their own. Songs about my life experiences whether it’s love, heartbreak, funny, sad.
