Biography

Copenhagen, Denmark

October 31, 1974 - June 24, 2007

Summer 2006 saw Natasja win Irie FM’s influential “Big Break” contest in Jamaica. 700 contestants, 12 finalists – but only one winner. She was the first non-Jamaican ever to win the contest.

Born in Copenhagen 1974, Natasja grew up listening to her mother’s collection of Dennis Brown and Bob Marley records. This would mark the early steps in a life filled with music.

Natasja’s debut on stage was at the mere age of 13 when she started singing/DJ’ing in Copenhagen with local Jamaican soundsystem Sky Juice and was noticed at a concert opening for Macka B and Arriwa Posse, where mad professor himself was blown away by her talent.

She was ahead of her time alongside with Miss Mukupa and McEmzee introducing raggamuffin to the Danish community in the early nineties with the group called No Name Requested. During that period the girls did a lot of shows and travelled with artists such as: Queen Latifah, Das EFX, A Tribe Called Quest, and Massive Attack opened shows for people like Ninja Man, Charlie Chaplin and Lexxus, including a jam session in the studio with UB40. Natasja’s talent impressed many people from the reggae scene, which led to studio recordings, live performances and press coverage in Jamaica.
