Meet Natasha | Pixie Dust | Producer-Vocalist-DJ

We had the good fortune of connecting with Natasha and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Natasha, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
Music has the extraordinary power to transcend boundaries, cultures, and languages, resonating with our deepest emotions and innermost thoughts. It has the ability to transport us to a state of flow, where we can fully immerse ourselves in the present moment, and as a Yoga instructor I’ve felt how the fusion of music and movement can create a profound synergy, enhancing the mind-body connection.

I draw inspiration from the magic that unfolds when music becomes a conduit for self-expression, transformation, empathy, and collective experiences. Sound vibrations unite souls on the dance floor. Everything in the universe, including our bodies, is in a constant state of vibration. When certain sounds or frequencies are introduced, they can help restore harmony and balance within our energetic systems.

Beyond the music itself, I find inspiration in the resilience and creativity of fellow artists. Witnessing their accomplishments and the unique perspectives they bring fuels my belief in the power of representation and drives me to push further.

Ultimately, the profound impact that music can have on individuals, the transformative and unifying nature of the electronic music scene, and the chance to contribute to positive change within the industry are what deeply inspire me as a Female Producer, Vocalist and DJ.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I grew up in the LA Underground. Dancing at a rave has always been liberating and therapeutic for me. That feeling of freedom in the music drew me to dive deeper into the music scene.

I was fortunate to live near London while pursing my Master’s Degree at the Guildford Conservatoire and was immersed in Euro Dance/ Trance /House /Techno. Living amidst this musical environment became a catalyst for my artistic journey, shaping my creative vision and driving me to bring my own unique expression to the world of electronic music. Currently I am fueled by all the Artists/Producers with Club Heart Broken in Germany (DJ Heartstring & Benwal to name a few).

Although I have been dancing at so many clubs and festivals all over the world for years, I finally committed to Music Production December 2022 and now have spent most of my nights in 2023 in my neon lit loft learning Ableton and practicing DJing. I had some prior knowledge on music theory from my Musical Theatre courses and sang in various productions, however I am not tech savvy. Learning The Art of Mixing was overwhelming at first, but it has now become my passion and a rewarding journey of exploration and growth.

My dual roles as a Yoga Instructor by day and an Artist/Producer/DJ by night allow me to fuse the power of movement, music, and mindful expression. Yin and Yang. I hope to encourage and empower other artists to find a balance between a healthy lifestyle and a party lifestyle. Fitness and mindfulness promote mental clarity that directly flows into your creativity. By nurturing our bodies, our mental clarity becomes a powerful amplifier, unlocking depths and authenticity of our artistic expression.

I am excited for this journey ahead and eager to deepen my knowledge and skills, continue to collaborate with other artists and release my first track this year (along with another track with j6). What else is possible?

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Downtown LA has been home for me most of my life so I’ll share some of my favorites:

I’d probably start off at Grand Central Market, they have a little bit of everything!
I love the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the acoustics are surreal and it has a sweet little garden around the back
The Last Bookstore is such a gem with an amazing selection of books, trinkets, music and of course, photo ops 🙂
I love attending any Framework of Future Primitive LA events at Pershing Square, Union Station, or Chinatown Plaza
Definitely walk through the Fashion District, Theatre District, Flower District and across the 6th Street Bridge
The Broad and MOCA always have such unique exhibits
The Row is amazing for shopping, restaurants and the occasional Insomniac Rave
Bestia for dinner is a must!!!
Downtown has all the best warehouse parties-where you can dance till dawn
And The Soho Warehouse has an amazing restaurant…the view of the DTLA skyline by the pool is magical

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I am incredibly fortunate to have a strong relationship with my parents, who have been an unwavering source of support throughout my life, and I am very grateful to have friends and mentors who have been a constant source of inspiration and guidance.

From the early days of my musical & fitness journey, Alexander Mei & Michael Chipman believed in my talent and passion, offering invaluable feedback and constructive criticism to help me grow as an athlete, performer and artist.

Alexander Mei is a Theta Healer, Psychic, Medium and incredible vocalist

Michael Chipman is a Master Trainer for Lagree Fitness, my incredible instructor, work colleague and is a Vocal Teacher (and also an incredible vocalist) at The Colburn School of Music

They have been a guiding light, reminding me of the importance of staying true to my artistic vision. With their genuine care and understanding, they have created a safe space where I can freely express myself, promoting an environment that nurtures creativity and personal growth. I am immensely grateful for their friendship and the positive impact they have had on my life and creative path.

Lastly, I am so grateful for my Music Production Teacher Zach Sheets. He’s helped me enhance my technical abilities (from zero) but also inspired me to explore new creative possibilities. I always look forward to our class sessions each week.
