exclusive interview con Natajja Gomez

Exclusive interview con Natajja Gomez.

Cchwnn. Hello again Blanca Blanch Blanco on the road again and almost to my next interview con a beautiful young lady named Natajja Gomez. It was really a long walk from San Jose but we finally got here. Besides her doing her thing she is a very talented singer and working her way up the tejano charts. So enough of that and let’s get to that interview.

BBB: hello Natajja, I want to thank you for give us time to conduct this interview?

NG: Your so welcomed, and thank you for having me here with you.

BBB; can you please share a little information about yourself?

NG: Sure, my name is Natajja Nicole Gomez, im from Las Cruces, New Mexico and am 19 years old. I attend NMSU where I plan to major in nursing and music. Currently I am working on my first self titled cd to be released in the near future.


BBB: so tell us how does it feel to be working with your new music producers Tony y Raul/

Ng: It has been a great experience. Raul was the one who laid down the tracks to "Cuatro Caminos". Tony mastered, produced the song. Tony has guided me to make the right decisions in the Tejano Industry. They are very talented in what they do and I’m so happy to have them supporting me. I not only know them as great producers but consider them to be my friends.


BBB: comparing your new direction on your musical career what changes do we expect from you?

NG: I personally do not expect to change my music very much. I want to introduce a new style of tejano with a touch of that New Mexico flavor. I plan to work hard and produce music that everyone can enjoy and dance to.

BBB: it seems that your family plays a very important role in your musical career, what are your feels about that?

NG: My family is very important to me. Without their support I would not be where I am today. I have always wanted to be an Artist and not once has my family told me I can’t. They always inspire me to go out in life and achieve my goals. With God by my side I know I can live this dream of mine. Everyone needs a family backbone and mine is strong and very hard to break.

BBB: has singing or singing with a band, been a goal of yours?

NG: This has been a goal of mine for a long time, ever since earlier times, more than I can remember. When I was about 5 years old I would stand in front of the mirror and pretend I was singing to a big crowd of people. I would sing songs that I loved and would capture my family's attention and say "One day you will be a star". Today, that goal has never died, but only has grown and led me where I am today.

BBB: what are some of your long term goals en la onda tejana?

NG: La Onda Tejana has welcomed me with open arms. My long term goal is to make everyone that is involved in tejano music proud to have me in the industry and to call me "One of their Own". I plan to have a long career in music and thank you all for your support. Without you, the fans, the music there is no "La Onda Tejana".

BBB" I hear you will be doing a song with "The Cardenas Brothers" can you tell us about that?

NG: Sure, I have been invited to sing a brand new song, never heard before on their upcoming new cd. It will be a "Cumbia" which I am so excited to do. As you know the Cardenas Brothers were original band member to the ever popular "La Differencia" I will be featured as a new upcoming artist. This opportunity to be featured with them and their support has given me great expectations to succeed.

BBB: how do your friends feel about your success as a singer?

NG: They are all very excited for me. They all remember the days when we talked about what we wanted to do in life, and music is what I always wanted to do. You have non-believers but I have never let this bother me, it only make me stronger.

BBB: when you were younger did you ever sing karaoke?
NG: Laughing, "All the time" had my own karaoke. My sister and I could sit there and sing all day. We would go to birthday parties, family gatherings and there it was. Everyone would ask us to sing. Of course I enjoyed the attention.


BBB: I read somewhere that when you are singing you feel that you are in your own little world, can you tell about that?

NG: Music in my heart has a very special place. When I sing I feel all my emotions. With singing, everything goes away, there is only happiness. I have always felt this way, I feel a connection with music and no matter where I am "I will always feel the music in my world".

BBB: If give a chance to speak to young people what encouraging words would you relay to them?

Ng: Don’’t ever give up. Stay away from all bad things. Don’t do drugs and always surround yourself with positive people. Keep God and your family close and don’t give up on your goals. The world is yours to take, but its up to you to grasp it.

BBB: well Ms. Natajja we want to thank you for this interview and wish the best of luck in your career?

Ng: Thank you for your time and support to the tejano industry. It was an honor to do this interview and hope to do more in the near future. At this time I would also like to thank, Tony "tgmusictrax", Raul "Big Cat Productions" , Albert "La Reina Promotions. To all my fans "Hugs and Kisses". "Mom, dad, brothers, sisters and the rest of my extended family, I Love You....."

BBB: well folks as I leave the great state of New Mexico an on the way to Houston, tex. I find it very interesting on how large es la onda tejana in our great country of ours. I am Blanca Blanch Blanco, have a great tejano day.
