If everything goes to plan, after the early-2011 release of her dance-pop debut, Perfectionist, the 24-year-old singer (real name: Natalia Cappuccini) won't be anonymous for long.

Natalia Kills is perched on a chair at New York's members-only club Norwood, trying not to stab herself in the ear with one of the urchinlike spikes she's recently attached to the shoulders of her leather jacket.

If everything goes to plan, after the early-2011 release of her dance-pop debut, Perfectionist, the 24-year-old singer (real name: Natalia Cappuccini) won't be anonymous for long. Natalia was born to a Jamaican father and a Uruguayan mother in Bradford, England, a small town four hours north of London, which she describes as being populated by "sheep and serial killers." Like a sensible star in the making, she got out of there ASAP. At fifteen, she relocated to London, joined the National Youth Theatre, and was cast in All About Me, a popular British comedy series. But though Natalia loved the thrill of acting, she started to feel constrained. "I wanted to be someone who was creating," she says, "not just interpreting."
