Most people travel to the valleys of |
heartache or endure the eye of life ’ s |
tempest before they can emerge with |
songs that grip the human |
experience ; but Nathan Brumley |
went hiking . Following high school , |
he spent his formative years as a |
contractor building recreational trails |
to high mountain lakes and fishing |
parks in the heart of the Rocky |
Mountains of Idaho . Shorlty after |
finishing his last season of |
trailbuilding , he won Embassy |
Music ’ s national songwriting contest |
in 2000 which subsequently led to |
his move from Boise , ID to the |
music mecca of the south |
Nashville , TN . He ’ s previously had |
2 publishing deals with |
Embassy Music and Brandon |
Hills Publishing and has |
completed his 5th full length |
album . He is currently the |
second place winner in the USA |
Songwriting Competition |
and was voted best 14 acts of |
the Southeast by Discmakers |
2007 . His music is clearly remindful |
of piano banging crooners like David |
Gray , Ben Folds Five , and Gavin |
Degraw . In addition to that , Nathan is a writer for the Songs Of Love Organization which writes customized songs for kids with terminal illneses . He has had 3 songs picked up by Warner Brothers Telepictures Music and was the artist of the month with them in March 2009-also the same month that he had a hold with “ Grey ’ s Anatomy .” Nathan was also a second place winner in the 2009 Music City Songwriting Competition , is on a rock compilation ablum called “ The Next Big Thing In Rock ”, and was rated # 17 in the college market in 2009 for his album “ Where You Move Me .” He has also been featured on Nashville ’ s Lightning 100 new artist spotlight in July 2009 .
