BIOGRAPHY
Nathan Smith is a Seattle based artist whose compositions blur the lines between contemporary, classical and traditional folk music. He strives to blend his love of contemporary percussion with singer songwriter traditions and incorporate new percussive elements to already established genres. With compositions similar to Agustin Barrios, his music draws on his Dallas roots. Drum Corps, jazz, and classical music are pillars in his writing style while incorporating songwriting traditions from around the world.
Nathan graduated from the University of Missouri, where he studied classical
percussion under Dr. Julia Gaines. In 2013, Nathan settled in Austin, TX, where
he became part of the city’s thriving music scene. During his time in Austin, he developed a passion for singer/songwriter music, worked within many different music styles, and won Austin Unsigned Artist of the Year award, as well as the LA Music Critics
blog’s number one single award and fan favorite awards.
In 2017, Nathan moved to Valencia, Spain to pursue his masters degree in Contemporary Performance from the prestigious Berklee College of Music, studying under Victor Mendoza. After graduating in 2018 he traveled around Europe playing at many renowned and historic jazz clubs and music venues. He currently lives in Seattle playing, teaching and loving the pacific northwest.
