Correction

Nathan Evans is a Scottish singer, songwriter, and TikTok star. He rose to prominence after posting a video of himself singing sea shanties on TikTok.

As a singer, he has released singles that have charted in UK and a few other countries.

Career

Surrounded by a music-lover family, Nathan Evans already had a passion for music long before he even debuted as a singer.

Nathan has been doing self-practice in music for several years. This constant practice then led him into his later success in the music industry.

He then tried to post his performances in folk and pop music to his social media platform, TikTok.

In July 2020, he uploaded his very first traditional sea shanty entitled Leave Her Johnny.

He didn’t expect anything about the result, but in fact, he got more requests to post more sea shanties.

After that, Nathan then posted a video in December 2020, which is in that video he sang The Scotsman and also Wellerman, a 19th-century maritime song from New Zealand.

Again, he didn’t expect that his cover gonna blow up. In January 2021, Wellermann reached 8 million views on TikTok and gave him 1.3 million followers.

In the same year, Nathan then signed a contract with Polydor Records and made a release of his official version for Wellerman no longer after that.

Several months later, in May 2021, he finally made his first live performance in London and River Thames.

On June 25, 2021, Nathan released his second song, Told You So, followed by Ring Ding (A Scotsman’s Story) on October 8, 2021.

Quotes 

“I’ve played guitar since I was nine and been singing since I was a wee guy. It’s pretty much been my whole life. I knew there was a demand for sea shanties and knew it would get views but never in a million years did I expect it to go this far.”

“After Tik-Tok blew up it went crazy. I got a record deal. Management. I’ve got lawyers and so I’ve gone from being a postman to being a musician and it went a bit crazy.”

“I would love to work with Ed Sheeran. He is a massive inspiration for me. Growing up, I used to watch him and tell people that is what I want to do.”

“My proudest accomplishment so far is going platinum with Wellerman.”

“I would love to do a stadium tour and would also love to have a number 1 selling album, that is the dream!”

“[My plan is to] keep making music that people like and then hopefully just keep getting bigger and keep going. Hopefully next year is as good as this year.”

Nathan Evans’s hard work to be a folk musician really has to be praised. He always gives his best shot to his passion for music. No wonder he gains more followers on his own!
