Built for the
big stage

Nathan has performed in front of millions — as principal guitarist on The Voice, Idols, Strictly Come Dancing, and Dancing with the Stars.

He has also led as Musical Director and Guitar Director on multiple productions, bringing musical leadership and creative direction to shows beyond his role on stage.

He has shared stages with artists including Ronan Keating at the FNB Night of the Stars, and performed alongside Richard Clayderman — the Guinness World Record holder for the world's most successful pianist.

As lead guitarist for The Queen Experience at Gelredome, Arnhem — a 40,000-capacity stadium — Nathan performed to a live audience of 32,000 alongside a 60-piece orchestra and 50-piece choir. The production's success led to an annual touring residency across the Netherlands.

Whether fronting his own set, directing a production, or playing alongside a world-class ensemble, Nathan brings the same qualities every time: preparation, feel, and total commitment to the music.
