---------------------------------------------
I’m the guy who turns up at acoustic nights with a piano.
It’s a nice change.
I like to be different.
I make some people laugh.
Some people give me funny looks.
I just go with the flow.
My song ’Let it Go’ got into the top of the NCM European Charts in 2003. It then went on to feature in a New York Award winning and Cannes favoured movie ’In A Man’s World’ on the soundtrack.
You can still pick up a copy at all UK Blockbuster stores.
A Virgin Instore Mag voted it ’Single Of The Month’ too in 2006.I live for live music. Playing live gigs are where i am my most happiest.
I have performed over 550 gigs in the past 3 years.
My favourite venues that i have graced the stage include: The London Forum, The Garage London, Camden Barfly, Hope & Anchor London, Rock Garden London, Carling Academy Birmingham, The Glee Club Birmingham, The Cavern Liverpool, Sunderland Uni, Coventry Uni, Warwick Uni, Birmingham Uni, Barfly Birmingham, The Slaughtered Lamb London, The Loft Garden Dubai, Club Abbas Bahain and The Cottage Vancouver.
During various bands, projects and solo gigs I have supported some fine musicians and bands including: Midge Ure, The Feeling, Air Traffic, The Twang, Editors, Grace, Shed Seven, The Mock Turtles, FO Machete, Mesh 29, Nick Hall (Fame Academy), Baz Warne (The Stranglers), Alistair Cowan, Phil Bates (ELO), Keisha White (EMI), Caroline Alexander and Gary Nock.
Between July 2003 and July 2007, Nathan gigged heavily with Coventry guitarist Malc Evans under the name BENEVA (www.myspace.com/beneva). We released 1 album ’I’ll Say Just What I Mean’ which went out on Catz Go Round Records in USA but unsigned in the UK.
It can still be purchased from 7Digital.com and CDBaby.com.
I have even dabled in remixing songs for other artists.
Early 2005 saw me remix USA dance artist Gaz Reynolds single ’I Don’t Care’ which recieved huge airplay and is currently available to buy on iTunes, Yahoo Music, HMV, Virgin, Billboard USA, MixMag and hundreds of other outlets.
I also remixed UK group ATHLETE’s single ’24 Hrs’ which went out on Polydor Records.
I played keys and sang BV’s on a Tsunami single which reached No.30 in the UK Indie Charts as featured on Radio 1.
In early 2007, I released a track ’On Myspace’ under the guise ’Kamloops’ (www.myspace.com/kamloopsmusic). The single created a short buzz on music forums reaching Number 1 on the FAB internet charts for 3 weeks running. The whole project was just a bit of fun but more releases from Kamloops will no doubt early 2008.
