[edit] Early career
Thomas' first public performance took place when she was twelve years old, singing "Killing Me Softly with His Song". Thomas always dreamed of being a singer, and she challenged herself to achieve her dreams. She eventually had to change schools; at her new school she focused on her favourite subjects: music and theatre. Thomas took dancing and singing lessons, and started writing her own lyrics and songs.
[edit] Career
In 2003, at the age of sixteen, Thomas's debut single "Why (Does Your Love Hurt So Much)" reached number forty in Germany (and airplay top four).
"Save Your Kisses For Me", released at the beginning of June 2004, had great success. Her second single "It's Over Now" ranked 12th. The mid-tempo love song, which features the Tobagan reggae artist Sugar Daddy (who has already worked with Buju Banton, Sizzla and Capleton), also made it into the top twenty of the airplay charts.
Thomas was selected to represent one of the world's best-known and most important fashion labels, Lacoste. As the new worldwide "Lacoste face" Thomas was seen from May 2004 onwards in a pan-European print and TV campaign alongside the French tennis ace Arnaud Clément (currently number 26 in the world rankings). The advert was directed by Bruno Aveillan (Nissan, Perrier, Nintendo, and others), who in the course of his career has already filmed top stars such as Monica Bellucci, Claudia Schiffer, and Gisele Bündchen.
Thomas was also seen worldwide in the Lacoste's Touch of Pink fragrance print and TV ads. One of Thomas's song fragments that appeared in the TV ads was "Let Me Show You (The Way)". Touch of Pink won two FiFi Awards in Berlin in April 2005, including "People's Choice' Award for Women".
Thomas broke her worldwide recording contract with Sony Music and has started her own record company along with her management crew.
Save Your Kisses, Natasha Thomas' first album was a minor hit in some South America Countries, such as Argentina and Brazil (where it was released by Epic Records in 2004). Thomas' song "It's Over Now" was included on the Brazilian soap opera "Senhora do Destino" (English: "The Owner of Destiny") international soundtrack. Her second album "Playin' With Fire", was not released there.
In 2008 Natasha Thomas released a new single "Stereotypical". For the third album she works with D'Klay Produktionz and Gabriel Flies. The album will be released early 2009 according to her myspace. She posted new songs to her myspace.
