| VICKIE NATALE | ||||||||||||||
|
Not only is she a phenomenal singer she is in the upper echelon of her peers writing and producing the songs that she sings. One of her mentors Nick Ashford has coined her "little Aretha" and said he knew from the first time he heard Vickie on stage at the Sugar Bar she had something special. Valerie Simpson also has said Vickie has amazed her with her ability to culminate herself as an artist and develop her writing and producing skills to soaring heights. Immediately after her win on Star Search Vickie was signed to a development deal with Sony Records and recorded five songs with the label. Though the label never released the material she still went on to release a digital single in 2004 on A&M records "Like no other" executive produced by Ron Fair (Christina Aguilera, Pussy Cat Dolls) . Ambitious and unwilling to let the let down from the label stop her she decided to self release her album "Never Gonna Stop" on her newly created label. The album includes the song "Forbidden love" co-written and produced by the legendary Narada Michael Walden. In May of 2004 she made her Carnegie Hall debut with the New York Pops Orchestra under the direction of the late Skitch Henderson as well as opened for such acts as Reba Mcentire, Deborah Cox and Ashford & Simpson. Last year Vickie also toured China, Japan and the US to support the release of "Never gonna Stop." |
