But Natti has arguably been working “full speed ahead” since she was a kid. As a teen, she joined D’Style, her friends’ reggaeton group where she became the token female singer. DJ Tilo Rock, one of the members’ dad, let them record in his studio and helped them book shows. Natti would sometimes skip class, pretend to go to a friend’s home to study, or sneak out of her parents’ home to play gigs at nightclubs, parties, and even basketball courts. She knew these moments would help her reach her dream career.
