About Natalie Gelman

Upon graduating college in Miami, Natalie Gelman set out on her path as a songwriter, releasing her debut album and returning home to New York City. There, she became a fixture in the subways - a circuit she began to master when she was just 16 - and a mainstay at the city’s storied venues.

In was there that she inspired a sing-along crowd of 17,000 while opening for Bon Jovi in a coveted slot she earned from a songwriting contest when she beat out 120 subway performers to open and sing a duet with Wyclef Jean.
