Natasha Mosley (born October 3, 1990) is an American R&B singer-songwriter and actress from Atlanta, Georgia. Raised singing in church, Mosley is related to blues singer Bessie Smith and has cited Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Brandy, Tamia, Ne-Yo, Tank and Justin Timberlake among her influences.
