About Natalia Restrepo
“My strong passion for the arts is what has opened the doors to expand my music career.”

Natalia Restrepo was born and raised in Colombia until the age of 17. Being deep seated in her roots; it allowed her to experience music quite differently, pulling inspiration for her original songs from Latin Folk, Boleros, Flamenco, Pop, giving her music that folky feel fused with several other genres.

At the age of 16, she decided to teach herself how to play guitar and that’s when she immersed herself into the music world. With no formal music education, she was strongly discouraged from pursuing a career as a professional musician. So instead of going straight into college after she graduated high school, she decided that learning a second language would come in handy, so she came to the United States for three months with the goal of becoming fluent in English. Soon after, the doors began to open, and she was accepted into Florida College in Temple Terrace, Florida where she graduated receiving a bachelor’s degree in Music with emphasis in Vocal Performance.

While at Florida College, she had the opportunity to grow as a vocalist and further her experience by learning classical guitar as her secondary instrument. She traveled around the US during the summers for three consecutive years with a cover band as a vocalist and instrumentalist. She was also part of the Florida College Chorus and Chamber Choir for five years with whom she performed across the U.S., including performing at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Internationally she traveled with the Chorus and Chamber Choir at the Anton Bruckner Choral Competition in Austria in 2017.

Once graduated, Natalia began her journey as a special education music and drama teacher, and today Natalia works as a professional Music Instructor and Recording Musician at Hands in Motion Music Productions and School in Brandon, Florida. Natalia currently keeps a full schedule teaching her students in vocal, guitar, ukulele, piano, performance, technique, sight-reading and music theory.

When she is not teaching music, she is performing live at private events and public venues as well as a professional recording artist working with Grammy Award® Winning Pianist, Latin Grammy Award® Winning Producer, Multiple Global Music award winner as Composer, Arranger, and songwriter, Lannie Battistini.
