| Introduction | My name is Natalya Zarraga Castellanos, and I'm a singer-songwriter and self-taught harpist, pianist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, aspiring producer/engineer, and avid gamer. I'm a Cuban-American and Miami native, studying audio production at Middle Tennessee State University. I have been singing and writing songs since I was a wee tot (they weren't very good back then, though), and playing the piano since the age of 13. I'm crazy about exotic instruments, so I am slowly amassing a collection of them for use in my music. I'm kind of an eclectic square peg in a round hole - I may not fit in like others, but I'm happy that way! Enjoy your stay. :) |
