Natalie Martinez has had quite a year, making her musical debut with her new single “Mannequin” and with the release of her new Netflix show, The I-Land. With a plethora of projects filling her plate, Martinez doesn’t let her busy schedule bog her down. She is still as vibrant, welcoming, and ambitious as ever, using this to guide the trajectory of her career without losing her endearing old-soul. We got to speak with Martinez about her latest projects, as well as what she hopes for in the future.

You just released your single “Mannequin” with Goldsnatch.

What was it like writing and recording this single?

It was a blast! I started Goldsnatch with my best friend Nat Tokyo. We’ve been friends for 10 years, so basically we had the best time ever--it’s just me and my best friend hanging out. Whenever we get together, it’s just a ball of energy, we have a really good time, the songs are a lot of fun. I think they really reflect how much fun we have.

This is a collaborative piece. What have you learned about yourself and your creative process while working on this piece?

I think what I’ve learned about myself is my ability to be open and try new things.

Music’s been something I’ve always been around. I have a lot of friends in the music industry and I’ve just loved music and dancing and singing always.

This is definitely a little bit outside my comfort zone since I’m so used to acting and being on screen, so this is a whole new creative way to express myself. So I definitely learned that I’m open to pushing myself, to write songs, looking for beats, having an ear for stuff, and evolving that talent, as well, which is a lot of fun.

Who are some of your musical inspirations? Who is someone you’d like to work with in regards to your music?

Oh wow, I mean Prince is definitely an inspiration. I wish I could say him, but we all know he’s not around anymore.

But Prince would be one of the biggest musical inspirations. We also enjoy a lot of freestyle. I think freestyle is one of my favorite genres from back in the day that we had a lot of fun with. If I could choose anything or anybody, I’d choose Prince.

In your acting career, you’ve worked with the likes of Jake Gyllenhall, Michael Pena, and Jason Stathem.

What was it like to work with such big stars?

At the time that I got those jobs and started working with them, it was pretty big for me. It was kind of like, you get your first movie and it’s with Jason Stathem. You’re coming up and starting to act and get opportunities, and for someone at my caliber, it’s great to work with someone like the names that you just mentioned. It’s great, it’s fun!

I’ve been very lucky that everyone I’ve had a chance to work with has been very welcoming, very nurturing in a sense, where starting off, they’re very helpful. They’re great partners to be in scenes with, so I’ve been very, very fortunate.

Your new show The I-Land on Netflix premieres on September

VULKAN

12. What can you tell us about this project?

I’ll tell you one thing--it’s definitely filled with a lot of mystery and suspense. It’s one of those shows where you’re kind of just thrown right into it and you, as well as the people on the island, realize that there’s something out there that shouldn’t be. It’s a sci-fi show.

We have these 3 individuals who wake up on an island with no recollection of who they are, or where they came from, or how they even got there. You go along with them to figure out who they are, why they’re there, and what actually made them be on this island.

It’s really interesting. It’s really one of those shows where you’ve gotta watch the whole thing and the answers come out every episode. There’s cliffhangers, every episode you find out more and more answers. It’s definitely a fun little journey.

What was your favorite part about working still stay in touch. on The I-Land?

Who is someone you’d like to work with in Being on that island! We shot in Santo Domingo your acting career? in the Dominican Republic. The first location Pan’s Labyrinth’s Gillermo del Toro is someone which is basically where the island is, the beach that I’ll definitely love to work with at some point parts that you see on the show, it’s a place called in my career.

Samana in the Dominican Republic--the northern part of the Dominican Republic. It was just Where do you see yourself in 5 years? What so beautiful! And the people were so great, such goals do you have in terms of your acting amazing crews. From the beginning, we have an and musical career? ensemble cast--about 10 of us are there every- I would definitely love to venture into more day--and we just got along so well, we have like action stuff. I really do love doing action movies. a little family. We’d finish working and there was I definitely see myself being in some form of that no service whatsoever. I’d wake up at 4:00 in and producing. I’m starting to produce a show the morning and take this dirt, bumpy road to and a movie that we just kind of wrote and put this beach somewhere and there was no service, together. I would say producing, more movies, so you’re completely disconnected from 5:00 and for singing, just to continue growing! Maybe in the morning to 6 PM, so it really allowed us finally come out with an EP and tour? I think that to hang out and not be on our phones. It was would be a lot of fun. It’d be great: 5 years from actually a treat! And the beaches were abso- now, I have a new movie out, and I’m touring, lutely gorgeous! They were the type of beaches and have a show that’s in production. I definitely you drew as a kid--yellow sand, palm trees, blue have my plate full, I mean it’s so much fun. When water. It was amazing. I was just very grateful to you do what you love, it’s not really work. be there and grateful to be working in such a beautiful environment. The crews were amazing, If you were to give your past self one piece everyone in production was amazing, so it all of advice, what would you say? was a very pleasant place to be working. After Oh damn...Enjoy it. Enjoy it a lot. I’ve really work, 12-14 hours, we’d all go back to my place worked hard, and I’ve kind of been non stop to and cook dinner. We were all very connected, get what I have. Consistency really is key. I’m we were a family! There’s no other word for it not taking away what I did, but I definitely wish than that! We all still stay in touch. We shot this I kind of enjoyed things more. So I’d say slow a few months ago, and even some of the pro- down. Does it make sense if I say slow down, duction and the crew in Santo Domingo, we all but keep going?
