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. His film placements include: Life Unexpected, Ugly Betty, and Palisades Pool Party.
