Currently residing in Toronto – Nathan has had drumsticks in his hands since the age of 3 years old. The son of two professional musicians and teachers, he was introduced to many idioms of music at a young age. Since then, a percussion jack-of-all-trades, Nathan has been recognized for thorough knowledge of the drum kit, rudimental snare drum, and building acoustic instruments.

He is a chameleon when it comes to all styles of performing and teaching. His drumming has taken to performing with The Top Secret Drum Corp, the World Pipe Band Championships, to the Drum Corp World Championships, the Festival Interceltique de Lorient, Montreal Jazz Festival, to the Canadian Juno Awards and to numerous other festivals and concerts annually.
