Natalie Hawkins (singer-songwriter) Hailing from the Bay Area, CA, Natalie's vocals have been seasoned via her 20+ year background in live music and theatre performance. She began writing songs in her early teens and caught the ear of Blondie's writing partner and lead guitarist, Chris Stein, who brought Natalie in to write seven songs on the album including the US single "Sugar on the Side." Natalie relocated to Los Angeles in 2013 and immediately began writing and immersing herself in the scene already landing cuts with Chris Lawrence (Mr 305 Pitbull's label), Nicole Millar (Universal Australia), Bobi (Hollywood Records), and Christina Grimmie.
