A veteran of the musical stage, Natalie Distler learned what all young children do through song - including her phone number, and how to spell her name! At age four, she performed in her first musical theater production, and landed her first starring role at age seven. This led to many other starring roles, including a part in the staged reading Captain Louie, with composer Steven Shwartz.

While music has always been Natalie's main passion and priority, somewhere along the line she caught the acting bug. Since her days of musical theater, she has gone on to star in numerous national commercials and voice-overs. You can currently see her starring in such television shows as Teen Kids Eyewitness News, and playing the role of Tommy Gavin's (Denis Leary) troubled teenage daughter, Colleen, on the FX network's hit TV drama/comedy, Rescue Me. Natalie is currently working on her second season of the show, which will begin airing on the FX network this August.

As Natalie continues to captivate television audiences on-screen, she is currently in the studio recording songs, hoping to realize her dreams of releasing an album. Already, she has worked with many of the music industry's top producers including Bobby Huff (Leann Rimes), David Kahne (Sugar Ray, Fishbone), Andy Marvel (Ben Jelen, Jessica Simpson, Chaka Khan), Tina Shafer (Celine Dion, Donna Summer), David Katz (Buju Banton, Elton John, Bee Gees, Mandy Moore), and Jill Cuniff (Luscious Jackson).
