----Nathan Michaels brand new EP, Forty Miles, showcases the artists distinctive baritone voice, with its gritty blend of power and soulful rasp. While his heartfelt renderings display influences of other Christian and secular artists, such as Jeremy Camp, Warren Barfield, John Mayer and Collective Soul, Nathans music has a depth of feeling and urgency that makes it unique.----Despite Nathans age, his talent has a maturity that comes from being sown in the fertile soil of a rich musical and spiritual upbringing. Watching his father lead worship in a large Pentecostal church during the 80s, Nathans growth as a musician began at a time when the very definition of church music was undergoing a radical and profound change. The passionate abandon of contemporary worship, as well as the beauty and simplicity of the traditional hymns, can be both heard and felt in Nathans songs.----Nathan, who has been playing solo acoustic shows and leading worship since he was nineteen years old, attributes his early success to the spiritual foundation of his youth. In particular, he credits the influence of his grandfather, who emphasized wisdom and listening to the Spirit of God.----Nathan Michaels commitment and professionalism also has its roots in his faith. Commenting on his priorities, Nathan says, There are key things in any Christians life that must take priority. First, our ever-growing relationship with our Lord Jesus. Second, our families. Then our continued commitments to the Church. My songs are part of that commitment.
