Road to fame
The biography of the future star began in 1981 in the Canadian city of Bathurst. The girl was born on February 10. After 4 years, she had a younger brother, Jonathan.
Musical talent manifested itself in the little girl early. She studied vocals from the age of 8, learned to play the piano, and participated in local events. However, Natasha did not seriously think about her singing career. She decided to become a biologist.
The 12-year-old singer became the youngest finalist and winner of the Le pouvoir de la chanson competition. The song "Le parcours du сœur", recorded in July 1995, became a hit. The first album "Emergence" appeared in August 1996. Critics praised the debutante, comparing her to Celine Dion.
Success

In 1999, Guy Cloutier offered cooperation to the promising vocalist. In October, he proposed a girl to the Notre-Dame de Paris troupe.
Luc Plamandon was impressed by both the technique and the voice of the applicant. Natasha replaced Julie Zenatti, having learned the Fleur-de-Lys game in one day. Simultaneously with the participation in the musical, work was underway on the new album "A chacun son histoire". It was released in May 2000. The performer herself wrote the lyrics for two songs.
Saint-Pierre performed in the first part of Garou's concerts in support of his first album "Seul". Having accepted the offer of France 3 to represent the country at the Eurovision-2001 with the song Je nai que mon âme, the singer got down to preparation. The result was the fourth place. The single entered the vocalist's collection in April 2001. After returning home, Natasha resumed her performances with Garou.
Collaboration with Pascal Obispo proved to be successful. The composition "Tu trouveras" turned into a hit, and the album "De l'amour le mieux" went gold. The singer's tour "Premier rendez-vous" started from Belgium. In 2003, the vocalist was repeatedly nominated for various awards.
