Natti Natasha is a Dominican singer and songwriter best known for her debut album, Iluminatti, and the breakout hit single "Criminal" featuring Ozuna.
Natti Natasha was born on December 10, 1986, in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic. She is the daughter of Alejandro Gutiérrez, a schoolteacher, and Sarah Batista. From an early age, she showed a strong interest in music, often singing at her local church. Recognizing her talent, her mother enrolled her in Santiago’s School of Fine Arts when she was just eight years old, where she began formal vocal training.
She also developed an appreciation for a variety of musical genres, drawing inspiration from artists like Bob Marley, Jerry Rivera, and Lauryn Hill. Initially pursuing a degree in modern design, Natasha later chose to focus solely on her music career, relocating to New York City to pursue greater opportunities in the industry.
Natti Natasha gained widespread attention in 2017 with the release of "Criminal," a collaboration with Puerto Rican singer Ozuna. The song became a viral sensation, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart. The accompanying music video was among the most-watched on YouTube that year, quickly surpassing one billion views. The single earned multiple certifications, including Gold by FIMI in Italy, 4× Platinum in Spain by PROMUSICAE, and 15× Platinum (Latin) by the RIAA in the United States.
The success of "Criminal" marked a turning point in her career, establishing her as a key figure in reggaeton and Latin pop. It also opened doors for future collaborations and significantly expanded her fanbase internationally.
On February 15, 2019, Natasha released her debut studio album, Iluminatti, under Pina Records and Sony Music Latin. The album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. The project featured a mix of reggaeton and Latin pop tracks, further solidifying her place in the Latin music industry.
Her growing popularity as a Latin music artist continues to position her among the top female performers in the genre. The success of Iluminatti demonstrated her capacity to not only succeed as a collaborative artist but also carry a full-length project on her own.
In addition to her music career, Natasha had a minor acting role in 2013, portraying Inna Cembrebel in an episode of the drama series Atlantic City Chronicles. Though primarily known for her musical contributions, this acting debut showcased her versatility as an entertainer.
Natti Natasha’s professional relationship with Don Omar was instrumental in launching her career. After meeting Linkon, an A&R representative for Don Omar’s Orfanato Music Group, she signed with the label. She collaborated with Don Omar on the tracks "Dutty Love" and "Crazy in Love," both of which helped increase her prominence in the Latin urban scene.
Although there were unconfirmed rumors of a romantic relationship with Don Omar, neither party publicly addressed them. In 2019, she was briefly linked to American reality television personality Rob Kardashian; however, the relationship was short-lived and did not have a confirmed influence on either of their professional careers.
