Nathan Waters is a multidisciplinary artist, recording musician, and photographer from South Central Los Angeles whose work explores the intersections of sound, image, and storytelling. His practice spans music production, voiceover, film photography, fashion styling, and public speaking, all rooted in a mission to create art that uplifts and connects communities.
A former recipient of the NFL Network Scholarship through the NFL Media Music team, Nathan completed a six-month intensive program at 1500 Sound Academy, where he studied under GRAMMY-winning mentors James Fauntleroy and Larrance Dopson. There, he refined his skills in songwriting, engineering, artist branding, and production while gaining invaluable insights from leading creatives including Justin Timberlake, Ty Dolla $ign, Benny Blanco, and 2 Chainz.
Nathan’s photography and storytelling capture authentic narratives across culture, music, and resilience. His work includes documenting creative collaborations with artists such as WILLOW, PARIS TEXAS, and Darren Waller. He has also contributed to production projects with DuJour Magazine as a production assistant for Rob Lowe and served as a Guest Experience Associate during Camp Flog Gnaw 2023.
As a public speaker, Nathan has shared stages with industry leaders and icons, including appearances as the CSU Chico College of Business Commencement Speaker (2022), KTLA Channel 5 news, and as the USC NAI Gala Speaker (2017) alongside Jeanie Buss, Mark Hamill, and Alysha Del Valle. His voice—both literal and artistic—embodies the power of storytelling as a tool for transformation.
Currently a Creative Career Lab Fellow with Get Lit – Words Ignite, Nathan continues to expand his expertise in creative communication, digital media, and nonprofit engagement. His work reflects a deep sense of purpose: to connect, to heal, and to represent truth through art.
When he’s not creating or mentoring within his community, Nathan can be found grounding in nature, writing morning pages, and spending time with family—recharging the energy that fuels his art, community service, and storytelling.
