Nathan made his first public performance in 1993, and has since been involved in Christian ministry through writing, singing and speaking. Over this period he has completed approximately 1200 performances.[2] His work is wide reaching, and incorporates visits to schools, churches, conventions, prisons and the media. Previously working from a Sydney base, he would annually visit the United States, Western Europe, the United Kingdom and South Africa. Nathan currently lives in Nashville with his wife Cassie.

As a Contemporary Christian musician, his songs are not only focussed on the Christian message of God's love for mankind, but also cover many aspects of the human condition.[3]

On Wednesday 10 August 2011 Nathan's wife, Cassie, went into labour prematurely and gave birth to twins who did not survive.[4]
