Mini bio
How it started.
Nathan grew up in Airdrie, Scotland, and told The EDIT that they had been singing since six and playing guitar since eight. Their niece and nephew encouraged them to try TikTok in January 2020. A listener’s request for Leave Her, Johnny that July set off a run of sea shanty covers.
From the post round to the charts.
The Wellerman cover spread across TikTok, and Polydor called while Nathan was out delivering mail. The official single and its remix with 220 KID and Billen Ted followed in 2021. The remix reached number one in the UK and stayed there for two weeks.
A songwriter’s next chapter.
The 2024 album 1994 put original songs at the centre, including Heather On The Hill, Highland Girl and the Foy Vance collaboration I’m a Man. Nathan then joined Stevie and Alan Jukes of SAINT PHNX for Arabella and the collaborative album Angels’ Share, released in January 2026. It debuted at number four in the UK.
