But that’s just the beginning. Nate’s strings have resonated with icons like Willie Nelson, Evelyn Champagne King, Hannibal Marvin Peterson, and the funk maestro Jimmy Castor. From jazz-infused collaborations with Norman Connors to harmonizing with Jean Carne and Phyllis Hyman, he’s the heartbeat behind the music.

New York’s neon pulse beckoned. There, Nate collaborated with producer Narada Michael Walden. His strings graced tracks by artists like Stacy Lattisaw, Johnny Gill, and the electrifying hit “Trapped” by Colonel Abrams, produced by Richard Burgess. And the dance floor? Nate’s got moves. He produced “Let Me See Your Body Move” for dance artist Shannon’s album “Do You Wanna Get Away”. But that’s not all hiphop vibes with Afrika Bambaataa and Curtis Blow? Nate’s got the rhythm.
