Interview With Rising Artist NatStar

NatStar is “music in the flesh.” An artist, producer, songwriter, and performer packaged into one man, Chris Stowe; who goes by his artist name “NatStar,” is a musical force to be reckoned with. Describing his sound as a mix of Hip Hop, R&B, Jazz, Soul and Gospel, he’s a triple threat as he sings, raps and produces for a diverse mix of genres. “What sets me apart from other artists would be my ability to actually excel in rapping, singing and producing. I consider myself to be equally talented in all three.”
Bringing his life experiences, thoughts, emotions and feelings into every song he creates, he paints something new on his musical canvas every time. Making it personal yet still something fans can relate to. Having worked with the likes of Ski Beatz, Brandy, Camp Lo, Loon, Nappy Roots, Blackstreet and more, NatStar’s musical resume continues to grow. Expanding beyond the US, NatStar has gained fans overseas, in Asia, after a 6 month tour he embarked on some time ago, as well as in Poland due to a collaboration with Polish Pop singer Gosia Andrzejewicz…
