Nathan Ali is a songwriter and artist from London, Ontario. Growing up with a single mother and later in foster homes, he found refuge in songwriting, using music to picture a better future. In his 20s, he learned that his father and late uncle were part of the legendary "Funk Brothers," the Motown session musicians from Detroit. Reconnecting with his father sparked Nathan’s passion for music, blending Motown with Urban, Rap, and R&B influences.
Having over 1.2M YouTube views, Nathan’s music inspires and connects, blending past and present. In 2021, his EP "Jungle" surpassed over 456K streams, and since 2018, his music has amassed over 1.2M streams. Nathan’s new "Parallel" EP tackles themes of family, resilience, and hope. He collaborates with the talented team at OnlyReal Entertainment (Allan Rayman, Shotty Horroh, Fito Blanko) to deliver a sound that combines the spirit of Motown with modern styles.
