Nelson, who plays piano and guitar, emerged on the music scene in 2015 and has since garnered significant attention for his lush indie anthems characterized by velvety falsetto vocals and captivating melodies.
Born and raised in Liverpool, Nelson's passion for music was nurtured from an early age within his musically inclined family and through his involvement with the Liverpool Cathedral Choir. His deep-rooted love for music eventually led him to pursue a solo career.
In 2015, Nelson, then known as Raines, released his debut single "Ghosts." Shortly after, he adopted the moniker BANNERS and released his breakout single "Shine a Light" in August 2015. The song quickly gained traction, peaking at number 5 on the Billboard Canada Rock chart and number 71 on the Canadian Hot 100.
BANNERS signed with Island Records in 2016 and released his self-titled debut EP, produced by Stephen Kozmeniuk, in January of that year. The EP featured the previously released singles "Shine a Light" and "Start a Riot," along with two new tracks. The EP went on to debut at number 67 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart. The singles "Start a Riot" and "Half Light" amassed millions of streams, while "Someone to You" surpassed 1.5 billion streams.
BANNERS has since toured with notable acts such as Milky Chance and POP ETC, performed on national television shows like American Idol and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and had his songs featured in numerous films and TV shows.
In October 2019, BANNERS released his highly anticipated debut studio album, Where the Shadow Ends, which was preceded by the singles "Got It In You" and "Where the Shadow Ends." The album showcased BANNERS' continued growth and versatility as an artist and was supported by a successful North American headline tour.
BANNERS' music has resonated with audiences worldwide, with his songs often described as anthemic, haunting, and inspiring. Nelson's emotive vocals and heartfelt songwriting contribute to the sincere and organic nature of his music. Drawing comparisons to Coldplay's Chris Martin, his music possesses a timeless quality that fosters a sense of community and connection.
Nelson's aspiration is to create music that becomes the soundtrack to moments in people's lives, fostering a deep emotional connection with his listeners. As he continues to evolve as an artist, BANNERS strives to deliver songs that uplift and resonate, offering a respite and inspiration to all who listen.

Michael White
"No One Knows Us"
(feat. Carly Paige)
Wish I could kiss you when I wanna
Without all the fear and all the drama
Kill to hold your hand in public
Yeah
I need you closer
Can we go somewhere?
No one knows us
Leave our world behind
We can hold up
In a motel room
In Arizona
Where no one, no one knows us
Where no one, no one knows us
Where no one, no one knows us
Somewhere
Where no one, no one knows us
(No one, no one, no one, no one)
I could try to fight the feeling
Dull it down like sleeping without dreaming
Kill to hold your hand in public
Yeah
I wanna push you up against the wall
Vertical, free fall yeah
Want 'em all to hear me call you baby
I, I know it's never gonna happen
And I've learned to I accept that
I accept that
I need you closer
Can we go somewhere?
No one knows us
Leave our world behind
We can hold up
In a motel room
In Arizona
Where no one, no one knows us (No one, no one, know)
Where no one, no one knows us (No one, no one, know)
Where no one, no one knows us
Somewhere
Where no one, no one knows us
Kill to hold your hand in public
Without all the fear and all the drama
Where no one, no one knows us (No one, no one, know)
Where no one, no one knows us (No one, no one, know)
Where no one, no one knows us
Somewhere (Somewhere)
Where no one, no one knows us

This song went on auto play on Spotify once when I was commuting the train home after a really tiring day. It was late afternoon and the orange sky was touching the interiors of the train and the angles of my face. It was pure aesthetic and I just wanted to live in that moment forever.
Some dude on the interwebs
That sounds so peaceful

This song reminded me of the great feeling of being anonymous in a large crowd or a city, a speck of dust in this great universe.

makes me remember when i liked someone but from far, while everyone else loved their somebody up close, i stood afar and made sure they were loved
Amber Skies
Literally the story of us ♥️ let's pray for a place that we can be ourselves, with no fear of judgement

Really miss a certain someone right now, if you love someone then tell them, don't be scared even with all your insecurities, accept them and love them
Love yourself and someone will love you for who you are
