Nathan Dawe

Nathan Dawe was born in Burton upon Trent, England in 1994 and attended Blessed Robert Sutton Catholic Sports College.[1][2] He began DJing when he was nine years old, he describes himself as more of a 'selector' with an innate ability to read a crowd. He said, "I live in a small town and it was hard to branch out from it. I've played every birthday party, wedding, school disco, pub and club you can imagine." He built a loyal following by releasing mixes on Soundcloud. Rather than the usual genre-specific mixes being put out, he released mashup multi genre mixes covering everything from house music to hip-hop, reggae, bassline and pop. Nathan was the first DJ without a radio show or hit single to sell out his own concert at the O2. He said, "It took me to the point where I was headlining massive festivals and performing sell out shows in huge clubs. I knew that wouldn't last forever, particularly with the rise of things like Spotify, so I set up a four-year plan and delved deeper into the production side of the industry."[3] He began remixing other producers in his early twenties.[1] His debut single, "Cheatin'", was released in August 2018 and peaked at number 94 on the UK Singles Chart. In May 2019, he released the single "Repeat After Me", featuring vocals from Melissa Steel. He released the single "Flowers" in October 2019, featuring vocals from garage legend Meleka, and Jaykae. He fought off tough competition from The Sugababes who had released their own rendition of 'Flowers' the week previous. Nathan's 'Flowers' peaked at number 12 on the UK Singles Chart.
