Natalie NDure Brooks discovered her love for music at an early age. She Started writing at ten and singing at thirteen. She remembers distinctively sitting on her front porch writing and going to bed with music in her ears. Then, local rapper and producer Willie Lumpkin known as Adiyon gave her first start and it was all she wrote from there as they say. From studio sessions to collaborations, talent shows etc... She also gained recognition for her music & poetry in 1998 & won a local award from the community center located in Buffalo, NY & was also nominated in 2008 for the R&B category in the international song writing competition. She also won an award with Singers Paradise Hip-Hop Seazon 2014. NDure grew to build relationships with various music creators one that stands out and now her mentor Ramon Gooden of Digital Underground where she met in Atlanta. She has attended the "I Create Music Expo" & met many other musicians from around the world, tried out for The Apollo and NBC The Voice.
