Nathan Angelo
|
Billboard
Although a newcomer to the southeast music scene, Atlanta-based Nathan Angelo has been immersed in music for over a decade. The son of a practicing minister, Nathan was surrounded by a family of musicians who nudged him to learn piano at age six. Four years later, Nathan began leading his fathers congregation in music and was later appointed the volunteer Director of Music, a title which he held until he left for college. This experience proved significant in shaping his career path and honed his talent as a performer.
Through Playing Me is Nathans freshman effort, a collection of 13 songs that are both wistful and contemplative all at once. The debut is a candid account of his life experiences -- an outlet to escape reality and guide it as well that eschews any airs of pretentiousness. Propelled by remarkable melodies and the groove-tinged rhythm section, an homage to Nathans early influences of Motown artists such as Jackson 5 and Ray Charles, Through Playing Me evolves as a refreshing and accomplished debut from a very promising new artist. Its that promise that prompted Edendust to write: His voice, his lyricism, his musicianship ... a talent this enormous shouldnt have to do anything but write, record and perform. Hes just got so much to give ... so much to say.
Through Playing Me is scheduled for a July 2006 release. His listeners will be nothing short of moved. Each and every track brings yet another sincere expression of human vulnerability and strength.

extremely bummed to have driven through Little 5 points in Atlanta yesterday to discover that you and Wertz played the night before. Imagine my dismay. I'm sure that was a great show. Also excited to see you play at the Gunkel Adoption benefit show in June at Eddie's attic. I'm playing a couple songs, but am "very new" to playing in Atlanta.

So yesterday I got accused of trying to shoplift your cd from Target; even though it was in my purse! Thank goodness it was an autographed copy or else I think I would have been in some trouble! Thought you might get a good chuckle from that. I know my co workers thought it was hilarious.
