Natascha Wright biography

Natascha Wright aka Natascha Rekelhoff was born on July 18th 1975 in Billinton, a small village in Surinam, South-America. Her Mum is South-American, her father is Dutch. She has one sister called Bianca. She describes herself as temperamentful, sensitive, motivated, ambitious and organised. She is also a very spiritual person. Her favourite artists are Betty Wright, Randy Crawford, Diana Ross and Anita Baker. She also loves Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Janet Jackson for their business sense and sex appeal. Her favourite music are Soul, Rhythm & Blues, Jazz and Pop.

She knew at an early age what she wanted to do in her life. She wanted to be a singer and started to take her talent outside the school walls by participating in talent searches and various competitions. At the age of 12 she won the first prize in such a talent competition. At the age of 17 she sung in Dutch, Belgian and German discos. At the age of 18 Natascha Wright went to the "Academy for light Music" (AVLM) in Hilversum Holland, where she followed an intensive music training to improve her skills.

During one of the talent competitions, there was a famous Dutch producer, Hans van Hemert. He invited Natascha into his studio to sing one of his demo's. The name of the song was Selfcontrol. It was a nice dance song in the style of Kylie Minogue. Recorded at Wisselrood, it was produced by Hans van Hemert, arranged by Paul Natte, released by Polydor Holland. Selfcontrol had a lot of airplay, and the video was played daily on the English music channel, Sky Channel.

Her 1992 singles were written and produced by Ferry and Garnefski. Watcha Gonna Do contains a B-side entitled Perfect Body Twisted Mind. The rapper Uncle X took part to this single. Phaedrus and the rapper Papadan were featured on the single Wake Me.

In 1993 Haddaway, who was riding high on What Is Love, (the number 1 hit at the time) asked Natascha Wright to contribute her vocal styling, as a support singer during his world tour. Her strong charisma and warm soprano voice gave Haddaway's show the perfect extras for his Live World Tour. For three years they travelled all over the world, appearing on many stages such as Dance Machine in France. She also did vocals on his second album (on the track Give It Up). "My time singing for Haddaway was one of the greatest in my career" she remembers.

In 1994, her single Party Of One became #1 in Canada. The follow-up Lovely Lie was produced by Steven Levis and Steve Hill, written by Kim Sanders and Nosie Katzmann, recorded with the collaboration of J.D. Wood, and released under Polydor.

In 1995 Natascha Wright received a Golden record for singing the lead vocals on DJ Bobo's song Freedom which became a number 1 hit in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Holland and she received a Golden record for singing the lead vocals on Love Is The Price which became a Top 10 hit. She also took part to the album World In Motion. The same year, her single Say You Think Of Me was written by Kim Sanders, Steven Levis and Nosie Katzmann.

2000 : She replaced Melanie Thornton as frontwoman for the project La Bouche. "I hope to be a successful recording artist working as a singer for the rest of my life. I would like to have a world-wide success, and I would like to write and produce my own music, with my writing partner Muriel, we would like to continue co-operating with other good producers,of our own choice, who we admire, famous or not that doesn't matter" she says.

In parallel she followed her "secret hobby" : Barmusic, Easy Listening, Jazz- and Soul together with german Jazz- & Pop-Pianist Joe Völker from Mannheim. She dreamt of a solo-carrer but the dozens of records company she visited kept on telling her : "Wonderful voice. Super look. Unfortunately we already have the same style of singer here".

2004 : her voice was featured by Nik P (Nikolaus Presnik) for the single Lovin You, released at the end of the year in Austria. The song is a ballad.
