Nathan Kersey-Wilson
Found under "Nathan Kersey-Wilson" on digital distributors, Nathan's solo project aims to create uplifting and peaceful music that ranges from chill hop to singer-songwriter to meditative grooves.
He draws inspiration from nature, his family and friends, and cruising all around. His music feels like skating through a beach town on a sunny afternoon right after the rain. He has released a full-length album and two EPs.
His first album and only full-length so far, "When You Least Expect It" was recorded live at UCLA with fellow students at the time Forrest Mitchell, Kiefer Shackelford, Owen Clapp, Jonah Levine, and Zach Ramacier, and is heavy-hitting jazz fusion influenced by Kamasi Washington and Cannonball Adderly, among others.
His next release, the EP “Refuge in Radiance” is a collection of self-produced uplifting beats inspired by Nathan’s experience of finding solace in nature during the pandemic.
In 2023, he released the EP “My Little One: Songs of Parenthood,” which is also self-produced and contains four beautiful acoustic songs that were inspired by his experience of becoming a father.
“Rain on Me” is the first of many songs coming in 2024!
