******************************************************************************* Hello, I'm Natércia Pintor. I was born in Mozambique but Portugal has been my home for the past 25 years. My love for singing started when I was only 3 years old. Once, that I didn't had money to pay my vocal lessons, I started to work really soon to pay for it. During that time I did a degree in Sociology, and played with a lot of cover-bands throughout the years. One of the biggest and best experiences of my 25 years has been winning first place in the Voice of McDonald's world-wide singing competition. The prize money was 25,000 US dollars. I donate part of the prize money to a children charity institution and invested the rest in my vocal development, including singing classes in the USA and Portugal. I had the privilege to be inveted to work and record with producers such as Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Vince Lawrence, Mario Massi, Mike C and Ricardo V. (USA and Portuguese producers/compusers). All this work leaded to my first CD/Demo with 11 music tracks and I am working on more songs. I cannot put my musical style into one category. My songs contain the flavors of Soul/Pop/Jazz/World/Blues. My passion is also expressed in words and I have written 5 original songs on my CD. In these tough economical times, I understand how hard it is for the music industry to invest in a new artist. I know I have a lot of challenges ahead of me, but I realize that chasing my dream is worth any risk. I hope my singing will reach many of you and I believe that bigger things are coming my way because I believe in the power of music. My goal is to give back by educating and creating a foundation to support children and the elderly. I want to help others make their dreams come true...! ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* I want to thank everyone for the vote of confidence and for your friendship...! ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* I apologize for failing to answer all your messages, but I'll do my best to answer all your messages...! ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* Navigate in my page and see the photos and videos and comment if you want...! ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* Again, thank you my friends...! ******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* Natercia Pintor was born in Mozambique and moved to Portugal at two weeks of age. She was born a musician, and has a deep love and talent for singing. She was so driven and passionate about music, that at the age of 16, she began working to pay for her voice lessons, and also joined a cover band as their lead vocalist. While pursuing her dream, she has appeared on television programs such as; Principals, Big Show SIC and Estrelas do Mar and numerous others. One of her biggest accolades to date was being selected the best voice of McDonald’s in Portugal as part of a global competition. Voice of McDonald’s II had 3,600 entries, and Natercia was selected to represent Portugal in Orlando, Florida (USA) against the other top 13 contestants. Natercia was accompanied by a 30-piece orchestra and performed to an audience of 15,000. She was unanimously awarded first place by 3 judges who are all renowned in the music business; Ken Hertz (agent/lawyer for artists such as, Will Smith, Destiny’s Child, Beyonce Knowles, Gwen Stafani, No Doubt, The Black Eyed Peas, Herbie Hancock, Britney Spears, and Ne-Yo), Jody Gerson (Co-President of Sony ATV; Nora Jones and others), Ne-Yo (singer/songwriter of songs such as; So Slick, Closer and composer for Beyonce and Rhianna); and Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins (producer, songwriter and promoter for such names as, Whitney Houston, Destiny’s Child, Spice Girls, Toni Braxton, Mariah Carey, Pussycat Dolls, Mary J. Bilge, Beyonce, Madonna, Michael Jackson and others). Having experienced Natercia’s performance and being moved by her humility, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins offered her the opportunity to record a song produced exclusively for her great voice at his studio in Los Angeles, California recording studio. Rodney got to know Natercia personally and wrote her an excellent and soulful ballad titled “With a Dream”, which portrays her life’s ambition, and was written with her in mind, a fighter who will never give up on her dream of music and will always be hopeful that she will be given this opportunity, just as the lyrics say. She has been immortalized in the USA as a “wild horse”, a nickname lovingly given to her by Tamara Anderson. Tamara is an internationally acclaimed voice teacher and singer. She works with many stars and top producers and songwriters. Together, with Mark Goff and Ken Clifton (both are acclaimed vocal coaches and very musically talented), taught Natercia vocal and acting techniques, and stage presence for two weeks in Orlando. All agreed that this young Natercia had great talent and was a treasure, and a wonderful discovery...! ******************************************************************************* RODNEY "DARKCHILD" JERKINS & NATERCIA PINTOR *******************************************************************************
