ABOUT THE ARTIST
As the number of fully-independent talents taking over the landscape of faith-based music continues to grow, 24-year-old Pacific Northwest native Nathan Oswalt is adding his own unique sound - and story - to the conversation. Born with autism, Oswalt creates uplifting original tunes with sonically diverse musicality and deeply moving lyrical themes, drawing from both timeless Biblical truths and his own personal life experiences.
The aspiring artist/songwriter/producer kicked off 2025 - his third year of "officially" releasing music to streaming platforms - by remastering & compiling his complete catalog of singles (so far) into his debut E.P. THE PRELUDE. The collection, headlined by DREAM Label Group "Top Christian" tracks "WHO KNOWS - 2024 Version" and "OUTRUN - 2023 Version", also includes Oswalt's most recent offering "SHADOWLANDS - 2022 Demo" and Spotify fan favorite "STILL GOOD - 2023 Version". His early endeavors have resulted in over 12,000 combined streams across Spotify & Apple Music, and he has received positive feedback from prominent contemporary Christian music (CCM) organizations (JesusFreakHideout, Awakening Events) and fellow artists (Zane Walls, Manafest, Coby James) alike.
Now, Oswalt aims to further improve at his craft, specifically stepping into a greater role in the production, editing, mixing and mastering of future material. He is currently working on the first new single of this exciting creative chapter - the entirely self-written and largely self-produced "MAKE UP YOUR MIND" - which he hopes to finish and release later this year.
When he's not doing anything music-related (or working part-time as a public school cafeteria staff member in his hometown of Vancouver, WA), Oswalt enjoys reading the Bible, binge-watching YouTube, playing Madden, traveling, cooking, and hanging out with family and friends.
