Artist description nathan is a versatile singer/songwriter based in South East London. His new album ‘Corrections’ is a collection of his favourite compositions from the past ten years. Recorded, mixed and mastered in just one week in April 1999, this album establishes nathan and his band as great live performers who know exactly how to capture the essence and mood of a song. “The whole point of recording this album was to give people an idea of how good we are live...” says nathan. “People who come to the gigs and like the vibe don’t want to buy an album that has been tweaked and tampered with. They just want to hear the songs the way they were when they heard them at the gig. That’s what this project was all about. My focus was to make sure we all performed just the way we had during the three months prior to the session.” “I knew the songs worked before I submitted them to tape properly. Preparation and planning is paramount to writing and producing a good album. I recorded a demo of the whole thing at home, played it to loads of people, filtered out the rubbish, re-wrote lines, added new songs, lived with them for a few months and then played them to Steve Corley(Keyboards and Piano), Mark Cox(Guitars), Jay Cox(Bass) and Steve Green(Drums), who learnt and brought the songs to life. That was a great feeling I can tell you because the band are so talented. I then gigged the songs around clubs and pubs until I was ready to press record. Chris Madden did a fantastic job with the recording and mastering and as a result I’m totally happy with what we achieved in a short space of time.”gigsnathan’s gigs are energetic affairs. A former international athlete and now working as a P.E. specialist in a Primary School and at the University of London, nathan knows how to move and communicate with people. Coupled with his blonde funky dreads, soulful voice and sense of humour, you can’t help but be entertained. He is currently rehearsing for his first promotional tour of the uk.
