A.k.a. Natalia Keery-Fisher Natalia Kills Teddy Sinclair (2) Verbalicious

Born 15 August 1986. British singer-songwriter, actress, and director who now performs under the stage name Natalia Kills. While writing music for films, Kills posted her self-produced and written demo extended play, "Wommanequin" on music social website MySpace in 2007 that attracted the attention of blogger Perez Hilton in 2008, her song received 2 million plays on the website and Kills reached the top of the unsigned artists chart. With offers coming in for concerts and festivals, Kills moved to Los Angeles. In LA, Kills was approached by producers, A&R and labels with contracts. A DJ introduced her to Will I Am after hearing her demo and learning that she did not have a record deal. In January 2008, will.i.am signed her to his record label, Will.i.am Music Group. She did not sign right away as she had reservations about the music industry and will.i.am had to go to London a month later to convince her to record with him. During this time she also co-wrote and appeared on "They Talk Shit About Me" by French recording artist M. Pokora and met underground director Guillaume Doubet, who would go on to direct many of her videos, in Paris. After that, she adopted the stage name Natalia Kills at the behest of her record company, which found "Natalia Cappuccini" hard to pronounce.
