'one of the nicest people you could ever meet.' - webmaster's note.

Natalia Cruze was born in Winnipeg but grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia. At 18, she moved to her mother's home state of Arizona, and at 20, she moved to Los Angeles, California. Natalia has said her father is Romanian with his ancestors being Gypsies, and her mother is Black Irish, German and Cherokee. Cruze was very much a tomboy when she was young, saying "I have sprained each of my ankles eight to twelve times each and have torn five ligaments", resulting her having difficulty in wearing high heels. Natalia Cruze began modeling at the age of 14. When 18, she then started working as an adult model, becoming the Penthouse Pet of the month for November in 2002.

In 2005 she signed an exclusive contract with the XXX porn studio Digital Playground & at that time, she changed her stage name to Sophia Santi, She started perfoming in lesbian sex scenes, although she has said that she will eventually work with men. To date, her most notable adult film appearance has been in Island Fever 4.

When 18, Natalia began a large tattoo of a Japanese dragon, which covers most of her back and her left side. She says that since she knows tattooing is addictive, instead of getting many small tattoos, she chose to have one very large tattoo, on which she will continue to have work done over time. She also has a smaller tattoo of a butterfly on the right side of her belly.
