Nathan Wayne

Not only is there someone else who has the name Nathan Wayne, but he was featured on the Kelly Clarkson show! So, to truly stand out, I have to try calling this website and all my socials something else to really have my music and myself stand out from the crowd of others going the whole nine yards to promote their work. I first fell in love with music and performance with dreaming of being a professional DJ in middle school, over fourteen years ago now. So, I did watch a video on this subject once, and the guy in it said that if you’re starting late, you don’t have to get this all figured out in the next year or two, and that there are audiences out there for more than just the mainstream, Billboard-charting young and cool people. Maybe so, because the sounds coming in from my favorite dance and country playlists on Spotify right now really do have a bunch of passion and heart throughout every beat, every lyric, every note. And that is one of, if not THE best reason to continue to feel inspired to keep pushing on.

Here is another step in a music journey that’s been a long time comin’. Over the years I’ve learned about artists’ journey (like the one I just referenced, Richard Goodall), but I never really figured out mine until I was twenty-five first landing a job. Apart from studying and completing classes in school, I have been checking out what’s happening in the worlds of both country and dance music culture every week (both middle and high school), on top of doing my own original songs and covers and album reviews on all my social media platforms at twenty. I don’t plan on slowing down either of those things, but I’m twenty-seven next February, so, if this is what I REALLY want to happen, I really have to put in the work as someone who’s fully independent, and doesn’t care if the songs are mainstream or not. (And in the case of Nic D, another guy whose hard grind I respect, sadly, no, but, happily, he’s having the music career he deserves, as someone who has built up an entire back catalog of good music, great marketing on socials, and the purest of intentions every step of the way.) This website is going to be filled with studio recordings of both covers and original songs, as well as articles on what’s going on with the country music scene at large. It’s a big step in becoming more of a professional in terms of actually making my career as a musician happen. I really hope you can check me out, see if there’s anything I can do to improve the content that I upload here or on my socials. Much love, Nathan Wayne.
