THE LOTTO OR YOUR LIFE!

About Me


My name is Nathan, why don't you smile for me? :) I'm a 19 year old music loving boy with a lot of passion and I'm going to make something of my life!
I am also known to many as 'Egg'- Why Egg you ask?
.. I don't really know name came from....well..... Somebody once said that I was from the planet egg in the playground at school, then also there was the theory that it was due to the shape of me head which can't really be seen most of the time due to my scraggy hair. Blah, Blah, Blah............
Anyway, it doesn't really matter does it?!
I have a large interest in lyrics, thoughts, ideas, dreams etc. I like music to challenge me, make me dream, create a mood, make me feel alive!!!!
If a song means nothing then it why would I care!?
I have been playing music for 8 years, starting out on a drumkit made out of oil drums, and got excited by them every day without a clue how to play. I soon got drum lessons, and began to teach myself the guitar. Like most peoples first song mine was poop! I remember writing it before I went to the dentists (nice man) with the first few chords I had learnt
I respect people with PASSION, who aren't afraid of hard work, and people who are considerate. I have played in numerous bands at numerous gigs and continue to do so.... in Leeds I've met some lovely boys and girls and learnt alot from other people already...
A nice quote that I think is very true is "Manners maketh man." It was a wise man called William Of Wykeham who used it as a motto in the 14th Century, if he realised this then... I don't know how people don't realise now! There is no need to be rude now is there!?
The last thing i would like to be is like somebody else, we are here to create new things not dwell on the past and bore each other to death with the same old stagnant tripe.....

These are some comments i have recieved about my songs from scouts...

"Bad boi funk! This is original! Not only a great track (You're Just Another Body In The Snakepit) but re-freshing with a country twist in the chorus. Fantastic listen. A complete new sound makes this song stand out in the modern era of contempary music."

“It gets your attention straight away with the in your face music and vocals. I like the story behind the lyrics, it is fresh and funny. I would definately describe this song as original as musically I have not heard anything like it before.”

“Banal lyrics and unimpressive delivery.”

"A strong vocal style that makes you sit up and listen. Humorous lyrics make this song compelling, A chilled out look at life."

"Amazing lyrics, the vocalist has a brilliant voice, really engaging song that keeps you attention. The singer has such an unusual voice that he really captures and holds your interest."

"Impressed with the creativity. Voice is pearl, smooth, flat out: 1 of a kind. Nice harmony, good beat, love the quality and production. Good radio song!"

"I bloody love your voice. It's different and exciting compared to everyone elses. My feet are continually tapping under the table. It is new, fun, fresh AND exciting. I hold my head high to you, you have produced a quality track, which can be listened by all, and enjoyed by all. I wish I had the talent you do- your lyrics are amazing. Keep up the good work, and I bet you will go far."br

"The lyrics, the sound everything!!! He is so talented it is unbelievable! A great solo artist."

"I don't know, this track is kinda bad, but I loved it anyway. I think it's the quirky, slightly crazy vocal performance that endeared it to me. It's quite a unique song with very interesting lyrics."

“Not quite sure what to say about this one, it's definitely interesting and got my attention.”

"The vocals are really "breathy" and strange. It sounds like a drag queen singing, the lyrics were also strange."

“Really quite witty and amusing.”
