From banging on pots and pans at the age of two, Nate eventually landed his first drumming gig at age 16. Soon after, he could be routinely found playing in nightclubs shining like a prodigy, and quickly built a name for himself in Houston’s smoky jazz and dance scene. In high school and college he played in the marching band, all the while maintaing a relentless class and gig schedule. Academics soon found itself on the back-burner as Nate advanced himself in another discipline, music. Too busy teaching drum lessons, gigging and writing music for production houses, Nate eventually faced the tough decision of pursuing music over college. A decision he’s never regretted. Having toured the globe since his college days—gaining enlightening experience and perfecting his chops—he exemplifies the aura of persistence.

Nate has played with a variety of Grammy-winning and Billboarding-topping artists including: Wayman Tisdale, Kelis, Tank, Angie Stone, Lecrae, Jermaine Dupree, Sarah Morrow, and Tyler Perry among others. His style is flavorful and unique. He never plays to hog the audience’s gaze, but rather to form the greater whole of the musical experience through unity and balance. Despite being booked for the greater portion of 2014-15 , Nate is poised to drop his new album, Heard Not Seen, first quarter this year. - Z180Media
