Nathan James is a native of Denver Colorado, growing up in a diverse environment naturally gave way to learning more about different genres of music. His inherent talent in sports swayed into music after an injury stunted his chances of making it to the NBA. Following picking up photography as a trade Nate has shot and filmed for some of the biggest artists in the music business: Post Malone, Offset of The Migos, 50 Cent and Justin Bieber to name a few. After his photography business boomed in 2019–2020, he found a lane for himself musically to express his passion. Some people looked at Covid-19 as a crutch while others utilized the down time to network and build their business models. We had the opportunity to do an audio interview with Nate to dive deep into his music direction, the surreal nature of getting a platinum plaque from working alongside Machine Gun Kelly on his latest #1 Billboard album release “Tickets To My Downfall” and everything coming up next!
