About Me

!-START Block to Place Custom Banner at Top of Page-! !-Create div with image. Replace my image with the URL of your own image- OR replace img block with your own code block!!-END Block to Place Custom Banner at Top of Page-!hi guys, my name is nate. for a while now all i wanted to do was write songs and play them for as many people as would listen. after moving on from my other childhood career ponderings, including cowboy, tv meteorologist, and radio morning show host (in no particular order), i moved on to the more realistic vocational choice of rock star. maybe the only thing that sets musicians apart from everyone else is just enough stupidity to never grow out of that dream.
upon graduating college, i got a day job and started saving money. after almost a year of living on ramen and totinos pizza, i had scraped together enough cashola to make my debut album with grammy-nominated producer mack damon . damon boasts work with The Militia Group recording artist The Panic Division, the independent phenoms of Nothing More, and The Bart Crow Band, among others. after months of preproduction work with mack on "sweet disaster", my debut, i entered the studio in september 2007.
for some reason i haven't given up on this crazy idea that people want me to sing to them for a living. and what's better, there are a lot of you that have never given up on me. the only reason i keep on doing this is because i love that moment on stage when i connect with you, and in that moment we both share a song together. some might call it special, others spiritual, but either way it's the only thing that keeps me coming back to the music.
thanks to everybody who participated in the You Decide Myspace Music Release, and you'll be glad to see three featured songs from my upcoming debut album. to those of you who just found me and like my music, it would help me a ton if you allow my banner the privilege of being posted on your page. it really does work to get the word out! just copy the code in the text box below and paste it into your "about me" section. thanks guys!
love.
