The Nathan Smith Project is a unique mixture of a number of genre, which stems from his, and the members of the groups' influences, and session experiences. They take pride in the precision of what they like to describe as "making music", not hampered by any boundaries of a specific sound.

The Nathan Smith Project

Having formed as early as June '07, The Nathan Smith Project draws on musicians from largely varied backgrounds. Nathan himself has been working towards a musical career since the age of eleven when he first started taking lessons from his dad who was himself an accomplished musician. His brother, Patrick, was also taught by their father from an early age, found his expressive outlet on the bass guitar. Their life-long friend, Mark found his way into the band as the second guitarist and backing vocalist. And along came Doug... who met the trio via a friend, via a friend.

Having put all misconceptions of fame aside the band's aspirations tend to sidestep fame and fortune and rather focus on using their music as a means to express and describe the journey that they are on through life; "If we're lucky enough to find an audience that relates to who we are and what we do then so be it, but our music is an extension of our creative expression, a means to deal with how we relate to the world around us."

Although the Nathan Smith Project is in itself a young outfit, the individual members are no novices to the music industry, with some them having performed in numerous theatre shows including a successful European tour, various band projects, solo projects and television appearances. It is this blend of musicianship that creates the unique flavour that The Nathan Smith Project calls upon to create the sound that they have in order to communicate and express themselves.
