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 collaborate performer, composer, and music director, 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
  • composing for and music directing the Uncommon Music Festival in Sitka, Alaska

My scores combine traditional instruments with electronic and synth elements, and when it's appropriate, I use the human voice. I have a large network of LA-based singers who range from indie/pop/jazz to classical, all of whom are seasoned recording artists.

I draw influence from minimalist composers such as Philip Glass, Caroline Shaw, and David Lang, who feature vocal music in their scores, as well as composers like Joe Hisaishi.

I am a passionate collaborator and care deeply about bringing a strong, flexible voice to crafting a joint vision with partners on a project.
