BIO:
Three-time Grammy awarding winning producer and songwriter Nathan Chapman is a rarity in Music City; he was born and raised right in Nashville. Only son to two working musicians, Nathan began playing drums and guitar at age three, sang on his first commercial album at age six, and was recording music by the time he turned fourteen. It is no surprise he wound up making music his living; what is surprising is that he would produce a multi-platinum selling album on a brand new artist, Taylor Swift, his first time at bat. All five of Taylor's albums (Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, and 1989) have solidified Nathan's place among the great producer/artist combinations in music history and he hasn't stopped there. Mickey Guyton, Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear, Shy Carter, Thompson Square, The Band Perry, Lionel Richie, Shania Twain, Cassadee Pope, Jenna Raine, Keith Urban, and Lady A are just some of the artists Nathan has worked with since Taylor's first single "Tim McGraw" hit the charts in 2007. Since then he's had 17 number ones as a producer. Nathan credits his love of songwriting and songwriters as the main ingredient which drives his production work. That fondness for the craft shows in his over 50 major label cuts as a songwriter. Nathan has written songs recorded by Lady A, Kesha, Avicii, Michael Bublé, Phillip Phillips, Kylie Minogue, Robin Schulz, Brynn Elliott, Michael Ray, Dan and Shay, Eric Paslay, Martina McBride, Colbie Caillat, Lauren Alaina, Sara Evans, Shy Carter, Karley Scott Collins, Rascal Flatts, O.A.R, Mickey Guyton, Lea Michelle, Jake Owen, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and Darius Rucker to name a few. His first number one as a songwriter was "Homegrown Honey" by Darius Rucker and cowritten with Darius Rucker and Charles Kelley. He's currently writing songs for Warner Chappell Nashville.
Nathan is also a world-class musician who has played as a musician on records for Keith Urban, John Fogerty, and Eric Church, as well as playing many of the instrumetns on the albums he produces.
