Nat is a highly trained saxophonist, pianist, composer and improvisor based in London.

Starting at a young age, Nat was exposed to a mixture of traditional and non-traditional teaching methods. This lead to him to seriously study classical piano, completing grade 8 piano in his teens, but also travelling the country playing saxophone in his teacher and mentor’s band.

Nat studied at Junior Guildhall during this period, but ended up doing his Bachelors in Philosophy at UCL.

While at UCL he founded and led the band Still Moving, which released an eponymous EP in 2019, and performed all over the UK.

During the summer of 2018 Nat travelled to Tennessee and Louisiana to study with world-class saxophonists, Chris Potter and Bob Reynolds, and to visit New Orleans to perform with and learn from the musicians there.

Eventually Nat enrolled at Guildhall School of Music to study a master’s in Jazz Performance. He benefited from studying under some of the UK’s leading saxophonists, like Iain Ballamy and Trish Clowes. Graduating in the summer of 2022, Nat received a high-first for his final recital.

Since then his work has spanned a wide variety of projects from straight-ahead jazz, performing at venues such as Ronnie Scott’s and the Jazz Cafe, to free jazz and improvised music.

In addition, he has worked with a number of non-jazz acts, such as Crack Cloud, HMLTD, Aga Ujma and Broadside Hacks.

Nat is a passionate and committed teacher who particularly loves working with young beginners and is fascinated by how different musicians learn.

He is happy to cater to each student’s needs, whether that be rigorous classical education, or finding non-traditional ways of engaging students via improvisation. He has found this can be of particular help when working with SEN students.
