Hello
Welcome to the website of London based singer-songwriter, Nathan Ball.
Nathan has been writing and performing since the turn of the millenium! Over the years, taking on a number of different forms, initially performing as a solo artist, Nathan moved on to form the 4-piece band Nayfumble and later - a duo, The Ballinsky Project, with acclaimed cellist Adrianne Wininsky.
Nathan is now focusing again on his work as a solo artist, whilst also inviting a variety of talented friends and musicians to join him along the way for live performances and help in the studio as he completes his debut album.
Frequently compared to folk legends such as Nick Drake, John Martyn and Cat Stevens, Nathan still manages to create his own unique sound – a blend of poetic lyrics matched with a powerful and distinctive voice. A self-professed ‘bare-footer’, Nathan’s ‘bare feet and bared soul’ have become a trademark on the underground festival circuit.
Please feel free to browse, listen to music, look through the gallery,and maybe even join the mailing list…
Hope enjoy your visit, and if you do, why not tell a friend!
