NATALIA KILLS IN TORONTO - PICS, VIDEO & AUTOGRAPH GIVEAWAY

Natalia Kills & Mr. Will-W.

British import Natalia Kills has been burning-up the Blogs over the past year and she is now on the verge of Stardom with her debut Album Perfectionist slated for a release shortly.  I caught up with the Actress/Singer/Songwriter out and about on her Press Tour in Toronto earlier today, before her performances tonight on MuchMusic's NML and an opening stint on Swedish sensation Robyn's show at the Sound Academy.  Signed to The Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am music group, in partnership with Akon's Kon Live, Interscope  and Cherrytree Records, the support is there for this label mate of Lady Gaga.

Her debut single Mirrors, a finely crafted piece of dark Electropop is now beginning to pick-up in terms of Airplay in Canada and today Kills visited Top 40 Outlets like Z103.5, KISS 92.5 and PROUD FM 103.9 to promote the track.

The pint-sized Songstress was styled immaculately, dressed in Leather Pants and a Faux Fur Jacket. Her Hair was perfect with neatly-trimmed Bangs; her Make-up eye-catching with mismatching faux Lashes.  "Check out her shoes", her Publicist from Universal Music pointed out to me and so I did, snapping a quick shot of her D-Squareds in their Spine-heeled glory.  The Girl likes to have fun.

Genuinely surprised at the sight of Fans in Toronto, Natalia Kills should enjoy the peace and quiet now as industry insiders are tipping her hotly as the next big thing alongside another British import, Jessie J., who also is launching her career stateside this year.  Kills despite the edgy stage pseudonym was extremely sweet in-person, confirming for me that Perfectionist will be hitting stores at the end of March even still with no official confirmation from her Label.
