“What’s funny about my music is that it’s very different than how I interact in person. A lot of times, it’s a dive into some of the more sensitive, personal, emotional and spiritual issues that I’m trying to wrestle with, and trying to make sense of that through music. Music is a great outlet for that.”
ABOUT NATHAN COLBERG
Nathan Colberg is a 26-year-old singer-songwriter from Charlottesville, VA. Although he has never received any formal musical training, Colberg grew up playing around on the family piano. But it wasn’t until college that he discovered his passion—and talent—for songwriting.
During his senior year of college at UVa, he began to share some of his original songs, performing in living rooms and small gatherings with friends.
His transparent songwriting, catchy melodies, and pristine vocals captivated a rapidly growing fan base on the east coast. With a series of sold-out shows under his belt in his first years as a recording artist, Colberg was ready to hit the ground running for his first headlining tour in March of 2020.
However, after his first show at a sold-out Jefferson Theater in Charlottesville, the rest of his east coast tour would have to wait….for two more years.
During a seemingly endless quarantine, Colberg set out to check off another musical bucket-list item, a pop-inspired project. In the Spring of 2021, he flew to Los Angeles to see through the vision. Collaborating with producer Jason Mater, they completed a six-song EP, titled “Dream On, Kid.” The title serves as both a touch of self-deprecation to his ambition as a writer and yet also a message of hope to keep going when hope seems all but lost.
About his music, one reviewer writes, “Across all of his music, he sings—in clear, effortless vocals reminiscent of The Head and the Heart and Vance Joy—of universal ideas like wanting to find a lasting home and being disillusioned by misplaced ambitions.”
His growing catalog of music has garnered over 10 million streams and counting…
