Nate Nelson was working in the music industry since before he could drive. Whether he was engineering a live session in the back of a bar in Nashville, TN, designing a soundscape for a mattress commercial; writing and recording music for his own band, White Violet; or producing a full-length record in a world-class studio, Nate developed his wide-ranging skill set by getting in the mix.
He has worked as an engineer at various studios, including his own, Cortright Recordings, as well as Chase Park Transduction (Athens, GA), The Bomb Shelter (Nashville, TN), and Fidelitorium Recordings (Kernersville, NC). In addition to his work with White Violet, Nate has composed, performed and recorded original music for short films and commercials. He currently lives in Atlanta, GA, with his wife, Chelsie, and their dog, Pamela.
“Hearing everybody talk about their stories and everything has kind of inspired me to continue after this path and look for new ways to improve on what I’m doing already.”
“The Saturday Session taught me how to do different things and how to experience different sounds that I’ve never heard before or used. I thought it was really, really cool!”
“I had a wonderful experience with your staff and faculty, y’all truly care and seem to have a vested, true interest in our well being in and outside of the facility. In fact, I am quite stunned at the degree to which I was helped with my problems. That’s something I am very grateful for, and also something that educational institutions typically lack.”
