Natalia Gordienko was born on December 11, 1987 in Chisinau, Moldova. Growing up in an intellectual family, she inherited a passion for the arts from her mother, who inspired her to pursue a career in music. Despite losing her mother at the young age of 18, Gordienko found solace in her loving family, which helped her develop a strong work ethic and determination to succeed.

In 2006, Gordienko represented Moldova at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Loca." Although she placed 20th out of 24 competitors, she became an instant sensation in her home country. Her success continued with her victory at the "New Wave" festival in Jurmala the following year.
