Nate Hendrix

Nathan Hendrix is an American record producer, recording artist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist born and raised in Oakland, California. He started playing drums and piano in church at age five under the guidance of his older brother James Vinson. While further sharpening his drum skills he played trumpet in the Prescott elementary school band. Nate then joined the Allen Temple music program, run by Betty Gadling, where he studied saxophone and music theory with Barbara Hunter. A love and appreciation of many forms of music led Nate to become a DJ, developing his chops at his high school dances and parties. This multi-generational experience fostered a talent for bridging the gap between current and classic. In 2011, Nate added engineering and producing to his skill set. By fall of 2015, he was working as a recording engineer at 25th Street Recording in Oakland, California. He now produces music ranging from big electronic sounds with a World Music twist to Pop & R&B. Nate credits as some of his influences Quincy Jones, Charlie Parker, Prince, Rick James, Nile Rodgers, DJ Quik, Glenn Miller, Noah Shebib, Gene Page, Burt Bacharach and Kanye West. When he is not recording in the studio with the Bay Area’s rising stars, Nate enjoys drawing, design, wine tasting, exotic cars, old school video games, fashion, technology and reading self-help books.
