Biographical Information
"Weakness For Sweetness" is her first hit, but Natalie "NATAHLEE" Burke has been singing for the past five years or so, actually moreover, "Weakness..." was when she was heard by a wider cross -section of the Barbadian public, because like most artistes, singing began in church. Nat, as she is affectionately called by those who know her well, is a versatile entertainer who works with a variety of musical forms - Soca, Reggae and R&B.
She is also a popular backup vocalist, both on stage and in the studio and has been known to work on as many as 40+ songs in one Crop -Over season. Natahlee has worked in almost every studio in Barbados, alongside the most popular names in the business there. She did the recording of "Weakness For Sweetness" in Trinidad, with Leston Paul, at his Sunset Recording Studios.

Personal Interests
Reading, because I believe in broadening one's knowledge. Learning is an ongoing experience.
Travelling is something to which I' ve become accustomed and I enjoy being in different places. I' ve taken up collecting souvenir spoons and that' s fun.
Hanging with my friends- the few close ones that I have and trust. In fact, I' ve been friends with most of them for a millenium it seems.
Talking to kids because I relate to them well and can share valuable and healthy knowledge with them.
Natalie
