About the Artist
Born with autism, 25-year-old Pacific Northwest native Nathan Oswalt crafts uplifting original tunes with sonically diverse musicality and deeply moving lyrical themes. His recent track, the 2025 Louder Than The Music (LTTM) Awards #10 finalist "MAKE UP YOUR MIND", signaled a significant stylistic shift in his artistry, taking on a more mainstream-oriented thematic approach compared to his explicitly faith-based early work (found on his compilation E.P. THE PRELUDE) while simultaneously staying consistent with his commitment to promoting wholesome messages and values through music. The aspiring young talent continues this modus operandi - which has earned positive feedback from prominent CCM organizations (Jesusfreakhideout, Awakening Events, Louder Than The Music, DREAM Label Group) and fellow creators (Zane Walls, Coby James, Manafest) alike - on his upcoming single "whatever happened to US?". Scheduled for a June 2026 release, and coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the U.S.A.’s founding, Oswalt’s newest song is also his boldest - both creatively and thematically - as he laments recent sociopolitical discord and division nationwide while offering a better, brighter, and more compassionate way forward.
When he's not doing anything music-related, Oswalt enjoys reading the Bible, binge-watching YouTube, playing Madden, traveling, cooking, and hanging out with family and friends.
