About Me


The New Single Choke/Back To You, Available on I-Tunes and 7-Digital.
Award winning singer Nate James is one of Europe’s most successful independent artists. Starting on the London soul circuit in 2005 Nate has since built a solid live reputation with tours and radio hits throughout Europe & Japan. After selling 200,000 copies of his funk fuelled albums ‘Set The Tone’ & ‘Kingdom Falls’ he was named Best Soul Act at the 2007 Urban Music Awards. He will be touring in North America for the first time in 2008.
Press quotes on the new album...
“A second album of gloriously ambitious R&B from a young British songwriter who seems destined to be a big star. Outta My Head is a Massive Attack-like masterpiece while Choke would melt the coldest of hearts. Highly Recommended”
  "Fantastic… blends squeaking synths and rapid percussive effects with lush string arrangements… also employs dashes of Prince-style funk, jazz and poppy hip-hop and should bring James the recognition he deserves"
"A lush and masterful collection of songs"
"Warm, honey-lovely vocals set against syncopated beats and twitchy electronica reminiscent of trip-hop era Tricky"
  “One to watch”
   “A real standout”
  "Flawless vocal performance and great melody"
  "Merging soul with electro –could this be UK’s very own Justin Timberlake? It could well be…"
"The English John Legend"

  “A bona fide international star”
  “As punchy as Kanye West… as smooth as Anthony Hamilton”
  “For the music lovers of these shores”
