Proudly NOT Hip Hop. The Jazzy-Country stain in the indie-rock genre. If the music of Jewel, Fiona Apple, The Dixie Chicks, and Alanis Morissette merged you would have Natalie Janssen.

The biggest question I get about my EP is ‘Split? Really? That’s your title? Why?”

That one word, ‘split,’ could be my bio. I am a Colorado mountain girl, heart, body and soul, but my head is in L.A., and sometimes New York. I have the most incredible, fairy-tale or even “Leave It To Beaver-esque” family, but my own love life is at the very least complicated and has often stunk. I have sung, played, and studied with all kinds of crazy amazing musicians. I have spent many football seasons actively cheering the Denver Broncos and then spending hours on Sunday nights singing and losing myself in polytonal music. I started performing when I was a kid, and have gigged country, and rock, and jazz, and swing, and ‘new music’ classical, and folk, and bluegrass, and blues, and in some part of my soul, they all fit. Likewise, I have jumped from Costa Rica, to interning at the White House, to Los Angeles, to debuting at Carnegie Hall, and back to the top of a mountain in Colorado. The place where all of this combines-- funnels together in the most incredible way, is in my songs; you can hear it in my singing. My tunes are an anchor. They are honest reflections of my country girl heart and all the wonderful craziness of my life.

And in the end, even though I am ‘split’ in many things, I am an indie folk-rock artist with a little bit of a lot of other stuff thrown in for taste.
