Hey there! My name is Nate Barnett. I'm a composer and two-time Grammy-winning vocalist based in LA.

Most of my professional life has been spent as a collaborative composer/arranger, performer, and music director, on projects including:

• singing tenor with The Crossing (winning Grammys for our albums "Born" and "Ochre")
• co-directing and composing music for Philadelphia-based experimental theater company Drip Symphony
• working with Apple Music to arrange backing choir for their live video of YEBBA's "Evergreen." I'm the conductor in the video: https://youtu.be/0v2nhMQmntE?si=IGC0Gx-vDMkDNVma

My music ranges from tender and expressive to raw and bracing. I love to write romance, I love to write danger, but most of all I love to write the danger of romance and the romance of danger. And sometimes it just needs to lay back. My scores combine traditional instruments with electronics, synths, and the human voice.

I draw influence from minimalist composers such as Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Caroline Shaw, and David Lang, among others. I find their music does and extraordinary job of capturing and creating energy, and I think energy is everything. I'm also influenced by pop, jazz, and indie styles.

I'm a flexible collaborator - happy to take charge of a creative vision or see out someone else's, depending on the needs of the project. Let's chat. Feel free to text me at 585-770-4345.
