Well '
ttiiginallN from Singapore, the Jo-year-old
marketing senior has been studying in the I 'tilled
States Sim e HI H A
Nathan said his interest in inusii dates hat k to
Nvhen lie used to perforin professionally nniIIi a
hand in Singapore before he c ami* to Kugene
IIonncnci Nathan said lie didn't begin nniiIi
NNiitnu: inusii hut nniiIi poetry II was not until
one of Ills friends read his poems and encouraged
him to add imi-.ii to them that lie began to do so
Despite tins Nathan has not performed his own
inusii in Singapore
Most musicians start off in playing cover
Hines " he said Hut the American public is
used to healing new stuff all the* tum* so they re
Ulole ice cptivi I hat s not tile* c use at home And
generally there is a tendency to believe that lo
c al grim n talent in Singapuie is not good enough
to make the • hat's
Nathan said Ills musli has matured along the
years I mm listening to different types ot music,
and artists he said he has tried to derm* his onn ii
stn le and sound But despite his stay ill the Cult
od M,ites Nathan said his musii still reflects tin*
rhythms .mil melodies that he grcNN up with
It’s very hard to depart hum where you're
from I grcNN up listening to rock but then,
there's a lot of ethnic influences." lie said
What 1 feel is that sometimes, it's better not to
tin to depart from that because whatever vour
li.H kgrouild is. tlial s basil ally who you are
While it is unintentional, Nathan said that peo
pie nn ho are lamiiiar nn ith l ast Aslan c ullures nun

In- combines different beats in each ol his writ
mgs
Basically whi'ii Miu'ri' writing your own
songs vim w.int try to come up with vour own
sound, vour own distinct flavor .uid vou don't
want to sound like somebody else.' Willuin said
Iheit again. there's the ironv Non don’1 want
to sound like somt'hodv else. vou want to sound
original, hut whatever soils is assimilated to what
sounds like somehodv else It s a verv difficult
tiling to trv to break away and to do something
eclei I ii he adtled
I 'illike* main other musicians. Nathan said lie
writes his Ivni s before writing the melody Once
the Ivrns are done. Nathan said the melodies
■ ome automatic alls
W hen 1 write a song, I have a picture in tin
mind oi what I am writing, how I want it to
sound, he >aid And when I listen to the musii
I hope to see that pic lure t ome to life I trv to do
things that iliav he other people have not done "
lliuvevei like most other artists Nathan is ev
tremeh emotional about his work It a piece ol
work doesn't live up to his e\pe< tations it never
makes the portfolio oi onto a demo-tape he said 1
I love music because it's almost like the
growth of a human being, lyric s mature over
vears music matures over the veal's, and you
tend to have a different purpose when you write a
song, lie said for me. it I don't feed a song. I
don't want to do it It the Iv ni s do not move me.
then I basic allv throw it into the trash, that's it
I low ever writing is not all Nathan does Once
a piec e is written he begins recording it Oil Ills
I on i ti ai k recordei. living mu e again to at hieve
that perlei t sound
I rei onl stuff with hasit trai ks I irst. then I I is
ten to them ovei and over and ovei until 1 figure
Out what I need to do just to make it sound bet
tec lie said "What I’m baiscallv working on
right now is a solo-demo and I have about 10
songs recorded and another 10 that are on pa
pei
Nathan said that he hopes to have the demo
tape completed hv next spring when he plans to
move h i either I.ns \i,gelescu New York city to
market his music Hut for now vvliat Nathan
plans I. ■ do is keep this as a rei real mnal ac 11 v it v

mance o! his song One World at tills vour s In
ternalional Night a numliei ol international slu
dents with strong bin kgrounds m music have up
proai bed him and thev are now planning to form
an international band
We have more than enough talent m terms ot
musicians and singers tin the international slu
dent i oimnunifvI. and I don't think such talent
should he wasted. he said "It’s our plan to
toi m a hand that w ill perform their original t mu
positions and musii from a variety oi < ultures
W hen times are low w hen times are dow n. Na
