About
Nathan O’Regan has a mastery over his voice that his peers surely envy. Slipping gracefully between gritty impassioned pleas and sweet longing melodies, Nathan pairs his beautiful singing with delicate, refined songwriting. A natural raconteur, his songs are full of melancholy and hopefulness that have captivated audiences all around Ireland and beyond!
Born in Cork to a musical family, O’Regan signed to a major label when he was just 16 years old after his band won a radio competition. “I was absolutely terrible to begin with, to be honest,” he recalls now. “I definitely appreciated those early experiences of working with professional songwriters.” Yet, as is shamefully too often the case with major labels, O’Regan’s career was put on hold; his debut project stalled, and he was eventually dropped after four years.
So Nathan upped sticks and moved to Belfast, where he began making a name for himself on the local live circuit. “There was always a gig on, and it was a good way to make money, while also cutting my teeth with live performances,” he explains. “I feel like a lot of musicians might hold back, waiting for the right kind of venue or something, but I really just wanted to play anywhere that’d have me.”
