There are artists who sing to be heard, and then there are artists like Nate Hicks—those who sing because the world needs their truth. Emerging from Toledo, Ohio by way of Atlanta, Georgia, Nate carries a musical language shaped by real-life grit, emotion, and lived experience. His artistry was born in high school hallways, where curiosity turned into craft, and craft soon evolved into a vocation that feels less like ambition and more like destiny.
What makes Nate remarkable is not just his talent—though his ability to sing, rap, write, and perform across genres is undeniable—it’s the way he channels something deeply human and unguarded. Performing came naturally to him, but connection became the mission. In every room he enters, from electrifying city stages to intimate streaming spaces, Nate doesn’t just entertain; he reaches people. He cracks open moments of vulnerability, threads stories of love, family, healing, and truth, and turns them into something listeners feel in their bones.
His EPs “Road Trips” and “Intentions”, alongside singles like The Way That I Want You, reveal an artist who refuses to hide behind the music—he pours himself into it. These songs are extensions of his perspective, fragments of memory, and reflections of a man learning, loving, questioning, and rising. Whether in Michigan, Florida, or Jamaica, Nate leaves crowds buzzing with the echo of something authentic and unapologetically real.
And then—there is Nate Hicks, the Firefighter/EMT.
While many artists write about saving themselves, Nate wakes up every day and saves others. Between sirens, shifts, and life-or-death moments, he still finds room for melody, creativity, and passion. That duality—protector by day, performer by soul—adds a profound weight to his music. You hear the courage. You hear the empathy. You hear the lived-in honesty of a man who has seen the world’s fragility and still chooses love.
His artistic curiosities stretch across the performing arts, and he embraces collaborations that push him outside comfort zones and into new dimensions. Nate Hicks is not just an artist in motion—he is an artist in evolution.
With every song, every show, and every connection he makes, Nate gives one simple yet powerful reminder:
Choose love—and choose it loudly.
