Natasha Castillo is one of three daughters of superstar Dai Ling Chuang who recorded over 30 albums in her career and had her own TV and radio show in Southeast Asia. Natasha's musical career started in elementary school plays, talent shows and glee clubs. In high school, she made her Lincoln Center debut with the ACapella Chorus. In college, Natasha performed as lead singer in an alternative rock band and later became the lead singer for the professional wedding band Eternity.

Natasha is a member of MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabaret). She co-hosted the Singers Forum bi-weekly open mic from 2013-2014, participated in the longest running show at the Metropolitan Room that is now in the Guinness Book of Records as well as multiple variety shows hosted by MAC award winning emcees Bobbie Horowitz and the late Dana Lorge.

She opened her solo debut show, "Anything But Ordinary" directed by award winning director/artist/performer Lennie Watts and award winning musical director Steven Ray Watkins in 2012. The show had five successful runs, receiving wonderful reviews:

Natasha Castillo will warm your heart with her terrific new show “Feels Like Home.” Her musical versatility is quite striking, as she deftly handles rock (“Dream On”), country (“Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough”) and standards (“The Best of Times”). There are even a few surprises in store with her takes on Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird.” Natasha is a fearless artist, stretching and expanding, while firmly keeping her heart front and center. Well worth seeing.
