If the name Natasha Zimbaro sounds familiar, it could because you watched her perform the Anthem this past June at the Pepsi North America Cup at Woodbine Mohawk Park or the Queen’s Plate at Woodbine Racetrack. You might also recognize her from playing on the main stage last year at Canada’s largest country music festival, Boots & Hearts! And if you haven’t seen her perform at any of the above venues, you will have the chance to hear her vocals at the 2018 O’Brien Awards, kicking off the evening with the Canadian and American National Anthems.
Hailing from Maple Ridge, B.C., Natasha Zimbaro is no stranger to the Canadian country music scene. At the age of 13 Natasha was discovered by the Road Hammers’ Jason McCoy, while opening up for Carrie Underwood at the Merrit Mountain Music Festival.
Natasha's next steps in music led her to Simon Cowell's X Factor UK in 2011 where she placed among the top 16 and was given the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform at Wembley Stadium.
After returning to North America, she joined the Canadian pop group, PRTY H3RO, which successfully launched her into the billboards with two top 20 radio singles, including Life of the PRTY. Natasha has since changed up her sound, and gone back to her country roots.
Zimbaro made the move to Toronto to be closer to her management team and focus on the production of her country music. She established herself on Canada’s country music radio stations after releasing her debut single Rebound in 2016.
In 2017 she released her debut EP Natasha Zimbaro, which includes her song Cardboard Box which has received over 300,000 streams.
When she’s not in the studio, Natasha is a major player with Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, gracing audiences at Scotiabank Arena, BMO Field and the Rogers Centre, singing the Anthem before games for the Toronto Raptors, Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto FC, Toronto Blue Jays, Toronto Argonauts, Seattle Mariners, Vancouver Canucks, and BC Lions.
Natasha’s album is available on ITunes , Spotify and Google Play.
