Bio

Nathan Peterson is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the human experience, connection through sound, and freedom.

As a singer-songwriter, his folk, indie, and ambient-influenced music blends a raw, emotive voice with simple, poetic lyrics that touch on themes of love, loss, healing, and togetherness.

Beyond music, Nathan is also a powerful communicator, blending storytelling and awareness practices to foster deeper presence and connection. With vulnerable honesty, he shares personal insights and experiences that resonate on a profound, almost mystical level, guiding audiences inward towards deeper self-awareness and a greater sense of compassion, generosity, and courage.

Born in Chicago and raised in Germany, Colorado, and Illinois, Nathan now resides in Chicago with his wife and five children.
