One of Britain's most promising soul singer/songwriters, Nate James is also perhaps the most independently spirited. Born on a US Air Force base in Lakenheath in 1979, James grew up listening to his parents' soul music collection, particularly Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, and from an early age began performing cover versions in his local clubs in Woodbridge, Suffolk. After abandoning an art foundation course at college to work with London producer Jazz Black, Nate won a place in five-piece R&B act Notorious, who were filmed for a behind-the-scenes TV show for T4. But due to a label merger, the group were dropped from Warner Records before they released any material and James decided to go solo.
