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 crafts uplifting original tunes with sonically diverse musicality and deeply moving lyrical themes that draw from both timeless Biblical truths and his own personal life experiences. His early singles, found on his compilation E.P. THE PRELUDE and headlined by DREAM Label Group "Top Christian" tracks "WHO KNOWS - 2024 Version" and "OUTRUN - 2023 Version", have accumulated over 13,000 combined streams, earning positive feedback from prominent CCM organizations (JesusFreakHideout, Awakening Events) and fellow artists (Zane Walls, Manafest, Coby James) alike.
Oswalt's newest track, "MAKE UP YOUR MIND", showcases his significant artistic growth as a lyricist, producer, and engineer, while offering a fresh, bold perspective on the complex landscape of modern relationships. More than just your average, feel-good, cookie-cutter pop jam, the song openly rejects short-term, surface-level cultural practices such as "hookup culture" and "casual" dating, instead advocating for the intentional pursuit of deeper, long-term partnership built on authentic trust, open communication, and enduring commitment. It's all about refusing to settle for less and opting to courageously seek after something so much more.
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.
