NATE JAMES
|
The fresh-faced funkster from the small town of Woodbridge in Suffolk (UK) has spent the last eighteen months touring with his band, entertaining sell-out crowds around the world including London, Milan, Tokyo & Amsterdam. His debut album was recorded and released on his own Frofunk label and by partnering up with various labels around the world he has enjoyed hits with his catchy singles The Message, Justify Me and Universal.
He has on numerous occasions been compared favourably with classic soul icons Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder as well more contemporary artists like Maxwell and Jamiroquai. He has one of the most distinctive voices on the radio, so while the comparisons are a massive compliment, Nate is keen to set the benchmarks himself. And there’s no-one else out there in 2007, who can entertain an audience like Nate James. Whether it’s the rarified air of Milan’s Blue Note club or London’s Jazz Café or indeed the stadiums across Europe where Nate has performed as support artist to the likes of Simply Red, Beverley Knight, M People and Musiq Soulchild… standing still or just nodding your head is not an option... you gotta get up and dance and Shake Out!
As his profile has grown so has the demand on his time and Nate rarely has spare time to do normal things but still loves to party with his friends & family and often takes them with him on his numerous trips abroad. His stylish dress sense, engaging personality and funky music has won him friends and accolades around the globe. In Italy he was named best international act at 2007’s prestigious Festivalbar - astonishing considering he was up against the likes of Scissor Sisters, Lily Allen & James Morrison. In the UK he has been recognized for the past two years at the MOBO awards with nominations in Best R&B Artist (2005), Best Newcomer (2005) and Best UK Artist (2006). In October 2006 he performed his song Justify Me accompanied by London’s Philharmonia Orchestra at the Roundhouse in London after being nominated as Best Urban Artist at the BT Digital Music Awards.
Nate remains as motivated and grounded as ever as he sets out to record his second album due for release in the Spring. He knows how privileged he is to be able to make a living from his music and he supports several charities including working as an ambassador for Shelter, Global Angels and Youth Music.
