Nathan King:Opening act (New Zealand) - Johnny Clegg Down Under Tour
Ever since picking up a guitar at the age of 15 in his home town of Christchurch, New Zealand, Nathan King has had a passion and a gift for writing great songs. We're not talking about just any "get-your-name-on-the-radio, one-hit-wonder" kind of songs, but crafted anthems, feel-good summer soundtracks, down-to-earth melodies that ooze a certain something that makes one want to fall in love – or maybe even break up.
Quite simply, King's compositions are tunes to make rock 'n roll memories to...
Only five years after strumming that first chord, King found his songs and his exceptional voice at the heart of multi-platinum, award-winning success as his pop-rock band Zed saw their debut album shoot to number one in New Zealand.
He honed his stagecraft in front of thousands of fans in Australasia, touring with Robbie Williams and Coldplay, and playing alongside the likes of The Calling, Ash and Seal in the USA and Europe – all thanks to those great songs and teenage years devoted to the remarkable music of bands such as U2, Simon & Garfunkel and The Beach Boys.
Drawing on his wide array of influences and experience, and having spent two years in London honing his skills, performing and travelling, in 2008 King released his debut solo album, The Crowd.
Produced by acclaimed maverick drummer Brady Blade (Dave Matthews, EmmyLou Harris, Beth Orton) and Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers, Catatonia, Bullet for my Valentine), King's solo offering reflects a diverse edge to his writing.
Following the radio success of the first single from the album, Never Too Late, King recently released the second single, The Saddest Thing.
