ABOUT

IMG_3686.JPG

As a career performer, songwriter, film/TV composer and Billboard-charting producer, Nathan Walters understands the power of a melody. Growing up singing and studying classical piano in his home church in Florida, Walters understood from a young age that music was his life’s calling. After moving to Nashville at the age of 20, he quickly learned about a word-of-mouth audition for a new boy band being formed. Walters made his way downtown to Atlantic Records to audition for A&R Director/label head, Barry Landis. Thirty seconds into his audition, Landis stopped him and said, “You can stop singing. You’re in.”

 

Produced by David Foster and heralded as the Christian version of *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys, Plus One went on to tour the world, score number one hits, and sell over a million albums. For Walters, early success was a masterclass in how the business worked. He soon began writing and producing his own songs, inevitably leading other artists to request working with him as a producer. “My solo thing quickly became my production reel,” Walters says. “Since 2005 I’ve been a full-time music producer and composer. I work with artists from all over the world, and not just Christian artists. I also produce a lot of pop music and mainstream stuff.”

 

Spending so much time working with artists to develop their sound inspired Walters to get back into performing. “I had all these demo versions of me singing songs for artists I was working with. It made me think, man, I kinda want to release some of my own songs.” Walters still had a friendship with Barry Landis from his Plus One days and learned Landis was working on starting a new record company, MasterLabel. As the two were talking about plans for the label, Landis asked Walters a decision-making question. “Barry said, if your days were numbered, what area would you want to focus on and be passionate about?” Walters knew the answer right away – he wanted to pursue being an artist again.

 

Focusing on a single/video strategy, Walters is launching with a handful of cover songs sure to engage his ever-present fanbase as well as first-time fans. “I wanted to start with some big songs to introduce me as an artist,” Walters says. “It’s an honest approach, musically. It’s who I am now.” 

 

Walters’ lilting vocals and heartfelt delivery flawlessly balance piano-driven ballads to create pop music magic. His spin on Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years” sets a modern, vibey tone, adding atmospheric elements that give the song a fresh sound. Ed Sheeran cover “Perfect” is immediately recognizable while feeling entirely new. Standout track “Flowers,” an emotion-fueled response to the Miley Cyrus hit of the same name, is Walters at his best – quiet, reflective angst that delivers the perfect emotional beat. “When I heard Miley’s song, I realized it came from a place where she was hurt and putting all her emotion into that,” Walters says. “My first reaction was, ‘I’ve actually been the guy who should have been more considerate, been more present, brought her flowers.’ I knew singing it just like Miley didn’t fit me, so I turned the song into something I would sing about the same subject.”

 

Walters has found his groove with this new turn. Leaning on his experience as a performer, composer and producer, these new songs reflect a seasoned artist comfortable in his own skin yet ready to strike a new note.
