A hip-hop artist and songwriter, Nate's music reflects his lifelong love of diverse artists and musical styles—Motown, 60s rock and roll, 90s hip-hop, acoustic pop—and it is itself highly varied, both stylistically and thematically.
He sings about the process of creativity, about love and relationships, about the tension between an artist’s private and public personae. His work is unified by a complex aesthetic, which combines personal expression, verbal dexterity, intense musicality, philosophical insight, and ironic humor. And if you get to know Nate’s music, you get to know Nate.
Born in Evanston, IL, Nate moved with his family to Purcellville in Northern Virginia when he was eight; he now lives and works in Wilmington, NC, where he established a new recording studio in 2020. While Nate was growing up, favorite music at home included that of the Temptations, the Beatles, James Taylor, Kanye, Eminem, Drake, and John Mayer, along with classical trumpet and orchestral pieces. Nate took trumpet lessons and played in his junior high band for three years; he then studied guitar through high school, achieving local popularity with some standout individual singing performances in his high school talent shows and at local festivals. In the background, beginning in third grade, Nate was consistently writing poems and raps; a creative explosion during his high school years meant that by the time he left for college, he had composed, on his iPhone, over 700 songs.
After one year at the University of Tennessee, Nate decided in 2011 to return to Virginia to pursue music full time—writing, rapping, performing at local venues, recording, and then engineering his own work. In the years since, he has created and released lots of music and at the same time developed a deep understanding of engineering and mixing. His first full-length project, The Jump, in 2013, earned attention and many positive reviews, receiving an Editor’s Pick from DJ Booth for the song “Sugar Water.” His 2015 single, “Gold Coast,” caught fire in both the U.S. and Germany and has been featured on YouTube channels including Rap Nation and SwagyTracks; it currently has over 21 million streams on Spotify. In 2018, Nate received a feature in “Bangers This Week” via XXL. Nate has continued to be prolific in recent years, writing and releasing other impressive albums—Goals in 2017, and Winter in 2019—which include the fan favorites “Good Looks” and “Fast & Furious,” both with over 4 million streams on Spotify. He’s also created a remarkable array of singles—“Bad Dreams,” “Poison Petals,” “Moonwalk, “Smiley,” “Bloody Sneakers,” “Payback,” “7 Figures,” “Mood,” (released with Promoting Sounds)—working both on his own as well as in collaboration with other artists (Justin Stone, Jared Anthony, Vaboh) and producers Morgan Matthews, NiNETY8, and Jesse Calentine. Nate’s fan base has continued its organic growth, drawing over 350 thousand monthly listeners on Spotify.
“Tom Holland”—February 2022 co-release with Nic D hit over 200 thousand streams on Spotify in the first week—recently hit over 1.5 million streams on Spotify. Nate is currently working on songs and video content that are scheduled for release throughout spring 2022.
“Broadway Girls”—March 2022 feature with the band No Resolve and Drew Jacobs debuted #1 on iTune’s “Top 40 US Rock Songs” at #1 as well as #4 on iTunes “All Songs” chart. The following week it was #1 on Billboard’s Chart “Hard Rock Digital Song Sales.”
