Music Career
Nathan kickstarted his musical journey by singing in his local church choir. After a while, he joined the Rhodes Orchestra, where he played the trumpet for two years.

In 2018, Nathan became a prominent figure in the Nigerian Christian community, playing a key role in the annual gathering known as The Experience.
His debut album, “Elohim,” was a remarkable milestone. Recorded and mixed in Cape Town, South Africa, back in 2008, the album was hailed as a spiritual and artistic masterpiece.
The standout track, “Someone’s Knocking at the Door,” a soothing soft-rock tune, quickly gained popularity locally and internationally.
