Hi there, my name is Nathan, and I've been studying and playing music ever since I can remember. I grew up in Seattle and was distilled very early in life with the grunge genre up there, though that's not where most of my musical focus has stayed. I was involved very early in life with music, as we've always had a piano nearby. I started picking up the guitar and messing around when I was about 5-6 and have been playing solidly for the past few years. I took piano lessons when I was about 8 and stopped 2 years later after finding another love. I started playing the trumpet when I was in elementary and played all the way through high school, where I gained a formal learning and understanding of music theory. Along the way I've picked up the bass and drums, but most of my focus in the past 2 years or so have been the piano and guitar. I compose for other instruments and love to produce using SONAR. I'm not the virtuoso of music by any means, but I love it enough that it makes up where I lack in knowledge of the formal "how-to" of everything. I have also had a few years of formal vocal training and enjoy it just as much as playing anything. Music = Life.
