I’ve never shied away from living new experiences, and tackling new challenges,” said Natasha in an interview with Billboard on her upcoming hosting duties.

“Hosting an award show is something new and exciting for me. It gives me a way to connect with a live audience and those watching at home, and celebrate with them our culture and passion through what we love … música!

The ‘Ram Pam Pam’ singer says she is already well underway preparing for the awards show with her co-hosts.

“The work begins now! In the next weeks, I look forward to working with producers, creatives, wardrobe and production as a whole to ensure we give audiences an evening to remember.

The artist is no stranger to working hard, having been part of the music industry for 13 years. She was previously signed to reggaeton great Don Omar’s label Orfanato Music Group. She is now signed to Pina Records, one of the most successful reggaeton labels in the genre, which also manages Daddy Yankee.

Along with her hosting duties, the artist is also nominated in three categories at this year’s show. The nominations are for Best Artist - Urban, Best Collaboration - Pop/Urban, and Collaboration of the Year for the song ‘Mayor Que Usted’ with Daddy Yankee and Wisin & Yandel.

She will also be releasing new music this week, with her new single ‘Algarete’ set to be released on March 30.
