DJANEMAG INTERVIEWS - NATALEE
20 Questions with NATALEE
1.- When did you start your DJ career and what was your motivation?
I’ve always loved music, and whenever possible, I tried to listen to it, but I never really thought about DJing until the moment when I met Alexander Mavrin. He opened for me the whole new “world of music” and the hidden universe with great performers about whom I had never heard before. For me, this was quite a shocking discovery, and after that, Mavrin pitched an idea for me to try myself as a DJ. And I gladly agreed. That was about 1.5 years ago.
2.- Dj and Model, is it easy to do both? How you make it happen? And do you think is a good mix? Why?
When you do what you love, it definitely gives you inspiration for some new creative ideas. Of course, from time to time, it can be difficult, and at the start, you fail at everything, but as we all know, this test of your limits gives you new strength to overcome every obstacle. It is strange that in DJing there are mostly men, it often happens that people who see a pretty girl at the remote control look at this with some sort of disbelief, but this is just wrong, I think that the model-DJ is a great combination.

5.- Did you ever feel that you could not be a Dj? Why or why not?
I admit, throughout my first performance, I was extremely nervous, and of course, made a lot of mistakes; after that, even a thought of being a DJing terrified me. But the desire and curiosity remained in my head, and after a while, I decided to learn more about DJing, and my interest in it only continued to grow.
6 .- Do you have any song on the media? Or producing any song? Whats your genre and how it feels when you hear your creations on the different networks? And how was the experience working on it? If you dont tell me how do you imagine your first production.

I still can’t tell you for sure, but it can be anything, or perhaps a new genre, it all depends on the inspiration

A really tricky question. Many musicians and DJ’s write to me and they want collaboration, but I still have not found «the one»
15.- In which country or Region would you like to play this year?

I think this a good emotion; it helps you concentrate. I think the feeling of fear is just a natural, human trait.
17.- How is a perfect weekend for you, with a musical show, with a catwalk, with a photograph or res7ng with the family?
A perfect weekend for me should be a productive weekend. It can be either a music show or photo sessions, business planning, or training, but the main thing is to do it all with pleasure.
18.- Do you ever have to put your artistic career over a family situation?
I guess, this is a question for those who are over 30 years old :) I turned only 21 years old this year, and my life and career are only at the beginning. For me, my personal development and success are more important than some fling. And if I have a family in the distant future, the main thing is respect for each other’s business without interference.
19.- What are we going to hear of Natalee this year? Can you tell us whats coming this year? Shows, tour, releases, or anythin you will like to share with us?
This is a strange year) At this stage, any departures from my country are not available, and nobody knows when the borders will be opened. It’s too early to guess, but a lot of customers are looking forward to seeing our professional team so that we can help them with their projects.
