Since she was very young, Natalia had a great interest in music, partly because her parents were musicians. At three years old she began to sing and at four, she realized that she wanted to be an artist.
She attended Instituto Anglo Español, a Catholic middle school. In her childhood and adolescence she studied painting, flute, theater, music, acting, piano, guitar, saxophone and singing. When she was 10, Natalia sang in a Mariachi group.
She lived many years in Coatepec, Veracruz, Mexico, where she studied music with her mother, imitating artists like Gloria Trevi and Garibaldi.
In 1998, Natalia was part of a girl trio called Twist. Unfortunately, the group was unsuccessful and they split up the next year.
Soon after, she began preparing to be a solo artist. When she was 17, Loris Ceroni gave Natalia the opportunity to be in a pop/rock group under his guidance, but when she wasn't sure, he encouraged her to go solo.
Although LaFourcade didn't join the group, Loris Ceroni produced her first LP under the label of Sony Music. It was recorded in Italy and was cowritten with Aureo Baqueiro. Sabo Romo played in 2 songs. Natalia Lafourcade is a mix of pop, rock, bossa-nova and latin rhythms. It features the songs Busca Un Problema, Elefantes, Te Quiero Dar, Mirame, Mirate, and her biggest hit, En El 2000.
In 2003, she was nominated for a Latin Grammy in the Best New Artist category (she lost to David Bisbal) for her debut album. Also, she collaborated on the soundtrack of the Mexican movie Amarte Duele and Un Pato for the movie Temporada de patos.
In 2005, she released Casa, her second album, but this time as Natalia y La Forquetina (the name of her band). Produced mostly by Café Tacuba's Emmanuel del Real, Casa presents a more mature, rock-oriented sound while retaining pop and bossa-nova influences on a few tracks, such as lead single "Ser Humano" (pop-rock) and its follow-up "Casa" (pop-bossa-nova). Aureo Baqueiro returned to produce the few tracks not produced by del Real.
In 2006, after a tour through Mexico and parts of the U.S., on June 2, Natalia announced that she will be leaving La Forquetina to once again work as a solo artist. Natalia y la Forquetina's final show was played on August 18, 2006 in San Luis Potosi. Following the group's break-up, Casa won the Latin Grammy for Best Rock Album by a Duo or Group with Vocal in September.
Natalia Lafourcade has also appeared on other songs with various other artists. These include Liquit's Jardin, Kalimba's Dia de Suerte, Control Machete's El Apostador, and Reik's rendition of a Lafourcade song Amarte Duele. Also she along with her former band have appeared on various compilation disks with previously unreleased tracks such as Y Todo Para Que on Intocable's X and on the Tin Tan tribute album, Viva Tin Tan, with the hit "Piel Canela" a cover of a 60s Spanish evergreen made famous by Eydie Gorme & Trio Los Panchos.

pinto mis uñas y me visto de rosas...
luego me maquillo y cuando yo camino la gente me mira insistente
cuando estoy contigo solo quiero nieve de fresas
turururururururururururururururururururururuuu (x2)
Soy una chica uso tacones de plastico
cuando llego a casa junto a la ventana puedo ver tu cara de lejos
cuando llego a casa miro como el dia termina
Y el espejo es toda la realidad
que triste entender como ellas no puedo ser
y el espejo nunca miente
no puedo soltar mi labial.
Lo malo es que me llamo Saul y el mundo no lo quiere entender
Lo malo es que me llamo Saul y el mundo yo lo vivo alreves

Lo malo es que me llamo Saul Saul Saul Saul Sauuul (x2)
The lyrics of the song Saul by Natalia y La Forquetina tell the story of a girl who takes pleasure in her appearance and the attention she receives from others. She wakes up in the morning and takes care of herself by washing her hair, painting her nails, and wearing pink clothes. When she walks, people look at her, and when she is with the person she loves, all she wants is strawberry snow. She wears plastic heels and her smell is a combination of roses and nuts. When she gets home, she looks out the window and sees the face of the person she loves from afar. She watches the day end, and the reflection of herself in the mirror is a painful reality; she is unhappy that she cannot be like other girls. She cannot even let go of her lipstick.
