Hi, I'm Natalia Kills.

Natalia Kills is my real name. I mean, my real name is Natalia; it's the name I was born with. And the word that most describes me and everything about me [is] perfectionist. What do you do when you want to be perfect, when you want to be the best? You kill it. So, I am Natalia Kills.

My album is called Perfectionist. I am not only a perfectionist, but I believe that everyone is. Perfectionism is a state of mind in a sense that it's more about finding a perfect way to deal with imperfect mediums. A perfect way to be happy when everything's falling apart.

When I write my songs, I obviously try to involve as much of myself as possible. So, a lot of the themes in my album are quite forward. I have a song called Mirrors that I made with Akon. The first day I met Akon, we made *Mirrors*. I think that is what was really quite magical about it is just the chemistry of the three of us in the studio--Cherry Cherry Boom Boom, Akon, and myself--all bouncing around ideas.

People have described my music as dark pop. I think that's quite accurate considering where my influences have come from. I was so fortunate. I worked with some really amazing producers on my album. I worked with Cherry Cherry Boom Boom, and as a Cherrytree Artist, it was a lot of fun. I was signed by will.i.am. You learn a lot by working with great people.

I have been working with a really, really amazing visionary Laurieann Gibson. She's not necessarily a choreographer; in my opinion, she's more of an artist. She listens to all of the songs and she gets the feeling of what the lyrics and the beat and everything is trying to say. The biggest challenge is not falling over while you're dancing in 6-inch heels.

I grew up in a musical household. I watched a lot of movies and I definitely was inspired by film. I wanted to build a fanbase that really knew me from the start so I thought of this idea: the show, Love, Kills. *Love, Kills* is me being in my head in my imagination; that's exactly how I think. When I make my songs, I follow my instinct, but to actually finish the record takes a long time. By shooting the show, I'll write it, the same week we'll shoot it, by Monday it's out there.

I don't make music because it pays the bills or it looks cool on T.V., and I don't make film because I want to win an Oscar or have my name on some kind of star in some kind of pavement; creating is really just how I survive. I live to express myself. I think everyone does in some way, and this is what it is for me.
