Everything about singer- songwriter Nathan Ball feels unforced. A natural, easy, calming presence, his music scales universal emotional highs with as much fluidity as it descends into moody introspection.
Finding inspiration in the outdoors, much of Nathan’s material is connected to his surroundings. “It’s where I write best; by the sea, in the mountains, in the woods. I love being totally immersed in nature so naturally those themes find their way into the music. I love being in the ocean – just being in it and feeling totally insignificant. It’s a reminder of the order of things.”
Nathan’s work fuses two chief loves – classic song writing and an eagerness to experiment and push sonic boundaries. Perhaps unexpectedly, he finds inspiration in left-field house music. “I love the way it makes you feel – it’s euphoric, but sad, introverted but expressive. I love that darker side of the genre”
Based in Cornwall – Nathan Ball’s music possesses universal appeal, his breakout singles “Right Place”, “Drifting”, ‘Borders’ and ‘Just Say Something’ connected with audiences in the UK and internationally. 2019 saw Nathan release new music and tour throughout the UK, Germany, The Netherlands, France, Sweden, Denmark, Australia and Sweden.
Recently Nathan has been excited to get back to basics. After recording an EP of new material, in 2022 he toured it in unique spaces rather than traditional music venues. From floating barges to rooftop carparks, clifftops to shipping containers, he created unique places for people to connect with music and each other.
In 2023 Nathan tours the UK with Australian folk pop legend Ziggy Alberts, and will release his new EP ‘Beyond the Silence’.
