A biography for Natalie Prasshasn’t been written yet.
“I've always been in this weird indie world, and for a long time, I felt that it was not okay to be girly in that world.”
“I've always liked playing with somebody else and collaborating, just to get out of my own head all the time. Everybody does, but artists especially, we torture ourselves. So it's good for me to immerse myself in somebody else's work.”
“I've never wanted to be like anybody else. I'm me.”
“I'm the kind of writer that, once I get into writing mode in my brain, I'm non-stop.”
“I love how controversial pink is. Men still feel uncomfortable wearing pink. It's ridiculous.”
“I've struggled with self-esteem and depression, like most singer-songwriters. I listen to my EPs on Bandcamp, and I can just hear the pain and the self-esteem struggle in my voice.”
“When you're that age - that middle-school age, early high school - you're changing. You're going crazy. So I put all of my energy into pretending I was someone else, battling and screaming and all that stuff - casting spells and getting into a whole fantasy world. It was really healthy for me.”
“Audrey Hepburn is a huge influence on my style. She's classy, confident, and simplistic. She's a tomboy and also super feminine.”
“I was poor. I struggled big time, living hand to mouth so I could be the kind of artist I want to be.”
“My kind of retro-sounding songs, or whatever you want to call them, aren't for everybody.”
“After graduating college in 2010, I got to work - writing and co-writing all the time, playing and touring in bands, playing for other people's bands, working in coffee shops all over town.”
“Like Lenny Kravitz, I wanna make the world a better place; I wanna unify people.”
“I'm one of those people who don't want to share anything 'til it's a done deal.”
“That's what's so wonderful about collaborating: your idea can explode and become something else.”
“I love wearing dresses, but more simplistic, classic-looking dresses.”
“Who doesn't love a Disney princess, and who wouldn't want to be one? Belle is my favorite. She's the smart, awkward, and adventurous. She doesn't have too many friends - goes off and hangs out with talking silverware. I think it's great.”
“Growing up, I had a natural love for women like Diana Ross, Mary Wells, Ella Fitzgerald. Then I got into Dionne Warwick, Nina Simone, and Patsy Cline.”
“I do what I want to do instead of what other people think I should do, and I'm kind of stubborn that way.”
“I blindly loved music and never once questioned if I was weird or not. I didn't care. Still don't!”
“Stevie Wonder is obviously the master at political music that's for everybody, that's still joyful.”
