Natalie Gelman (born July 17, 1985[1]) is an American singer and songwriter. Gelman is mainly known for her strong vocals, and has released two albums.

History

Gelman's parents, her father a violinist and her mother a pianist, encouraged her musical aspirations with classical training. Gelman wrote her first song when she was 11 years old,[2] and picked up the guitar in high school.[3] She started seriously performing at the age of 17, eventually busking on the New York subway system platforms. In 2006 after the release of her self-titled album, she started a 1,500-mile (2,400 km) tour from Miami to New York city on rollerblades to promote the album and support Children International.[4] The trip took 48 days.[5] Gelman graduated from the University of Miami in 2006 with a Bachelor of Music.[6] After multiple attempts,[7][8] she was ultimately accepted into the MTA's Music Under New York program.[2]

She released her first self-titled LP in 2006. Her second album, an EP, produced by Charlie Midnight and Mark Needham, was released in 2013. The music video for the song "Most the While" was selected for the 2014 New Media Film Festival.[9]

Gelman began a month-long tour with Alyse Black on July 16, 2014 through Washington state, Oregon and Montana.

On July 17, 2014 she started a crowdfunding campaign to fund a full-length LP.[10]
