About Me

Nathan Parent is a 20 year old singer songwriter currently based in his hometown of Ashland, WI.
When it comes to his music, Nate is as dedicated as they come. He spends his days laughing about anything and everything, making sure to enjoy himself in whatever he does. His guitar is his life and his words are his soul; helping him to create the very music that drives him to be heard by the entire world. If you've ever had the opportunity to meet him or hear his music live, you'll know that he is very shy and sometimes overly talkative, but at the same time quite charming. If you have not met him, however, hopefully you will get the chance in the near future.
Nate is very thankful for all the support he has had in the past year and always remembers the people that help him out. He hopes to one day meet everyone that has listened to his music and personally thank them with a nice hug and a kind word.
He recently collaborated with Petter Folkedal (AKA: Sgt. Petter) at Galant Records in Bergen, Norway to create a few demos for further promotion of his music and has now added that music to this page! Hopefully everyone has had the chance to check it out and enjoys it!
More music is always on the way and Nate appreciates all of the comments! He has hopes of getting together with a record company this year to start work on a full album!
Stay tuned!
