ABOUT NATE

Nate Parrish is a rare and vanishing breed of creative: the type whose punk rock sensibilities still apply both to the music and visuals he releases and to the way he makes it —a creator, musician, and storyteller driven by a passion for authenticity, truth, and bold expression. As a solo artist and former guitarist for the Grammy-nominated band Kutless, I’ve had the privilege of pterforming across the U.S. and internationally, delivering a unique blend of raw punk energy, thoughtful lyricism, and unapologetic social commentary. My work has been featured in HM Magazine, American Songwriter, and other leading music publications, earning recognition for its grit, honesty, and refusal to follow trends. Whether I'm writing a song, designing visuals, or speaking truth through art, my mission remains the same: to create with conviction and connect through meaning.

MATT PELISHEK - 88.3 LIFE FM

“Nate has completely leveled up the look and feel of our station. Not only is he an amazing designer, he is so incredibly easy to work with.  He understands not only creating great art, but making it flawlessly fit the aesthetic or feel of your business. He is our go-to for everything from logo designs, promotional graphics, and any other visual need we’ve thrown at him. Sometimes it’s a highly specific idea in mind, other times it’s a loose concept that he helps understand and develop. Stop reading this.  Just hire him.”

JOSIAH PRINCE - PRODUCER / GUITARIST - DISCIPLE

“I respect  Nate's creativity. He puts in blood sweat and tears to chase song after song, which has developed his killer instinct for crafting melody and emotion. His songs are full of heart and smarts, and any aspiring musician could stand to take a page or 3 out of his book!”
