Vickie Natalie

Watching Vickie perform you undoubtedly see the spirit that this young woman embodies. Emulating such stars as Aretha Franklin and Alicia Keys, this Brooklyn native has always been a dreamer and insisted on transcending her humble beginnings. Using the strength and conviction that she learned from her mother, Vickie literally sang her way through school. "We did not have money for rent, let alone music lessons". Fate called upon Vickie in early 2003; while performing at the Sugar Bar, Vickie was approached by a CBS Star Search casting director and invited to appear on the show. Before she could blink her eyes, she found herself on a plane returning to New York $200,000 richer and crowned the winner of the 2003 Star Search Adult Competition. While this achievement didn’t immediately vault her into stardom, she was well on her way to many more successful ventures. Vickie was later invited by the Artist Empowerment coalition (A non Profit Coalition Founded by Prince, Stevie Wonder, Roberta Flack, The McMillan Firm and Many other industry professionals) to perform a tribute to Chaka Khan at the 2nd annual Grammy Brunch and was featured alongside Prince on the Artist empowerment website (www.artistempowerment.com). The following year with her career on the rise, Vickie was beckoned to perform at Carnegie Hall in a concert entitled, "New Faces of ‘04." Most recently, Vickie opened for the legendary country artist Reba McEntire which she received rave reviews and wowed an audience of 65,000 people. Vickie is not only a gifted vocalist and performer, but also a dedicated instructor to young and aspiring singers.
