Nathan Fouts: A Nashville native, Nathan Fouts broke the mold of his classical training as well as the city’s musical roots, and set out to make a mark in the hip hop world.

After a short stint at UMiami’s Frost School of Music, he performed his hip hop creations at Miami EDM clubs and acoustic songs at local bars before returning to his hometown to record.

His ability to speak to his generation through his considerate, heart-felt words and his rhythmical beats makes him a contender in the music world. In 2018 Nathan created Cake Records with his team and is looking forward to releasing new projects with Cake.
