About
Nate Daniels is a singer for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
Nate covers the classics and the sing-alongs from the 60s through to the 2010s, plus a handful you'd never pick: Valerie, Here Comes the Sun, Holy Grail, Never Tear Us Apart, Working Class Man, Mr Brightside, Enter Sandman, To Her Door. What sets him apart is knowing when to step back and let the event breathe, and when to lift it. He plays solo, duo or band, drawing the extra players from a pool of professionals, so the vocals, guitar and song list stay the same whoever joins. Sound and lighting are included and operated for you. He's practised at holding volume down where a venue needs it. Brisbane based, and he holds a working with children blue card.

The show
The whole music side is handled, which is the point of booking him. Nate reads a room well and knows when to sit back and let a speech or a conversation have the space, then when to lift the energy again. That makes him a sensible pick for awards nights, fundraisers, office parties, birthdays and weddings alike. Book the duo or the band and the extra players come from a pool of professionals he trusts, so his vocals, guitar and the long song list stay exactly the same whoever turns up alongside him.
On the day
Sound and lighting are included and operated for you. Solo or duo needs a flat area of at least two square metres, the band needs about four by two, and either way it has to be indoors or under solid cover away from direct sun. A large sturdy gazebo with side walls counts. Equipment never goes anywhere it could get rained on, whatever the forecast says. He also needs a dedicated double outlet on 240V mains close to the playing area. A generator works if there's genuinely no other option.
Performance options
Pick the size: solo, duo, or a band scaled to your room. PA hire on its own is there too if you'd rather run your own playlists. You can mix formats across a night as well, say a couple of hours solo then a trio later, or live music first and your own playlist through the PA after. Sets run around forty five minutes each and he'll line the breaks up with your speeches or award presentations. Bookings run from one hour up to six, timed from the first song to the last, and he arrives an hour before the music starts to set up.
