"It feels so cool to be successful, but it feels so wrong at the same time. It's about feeling lonely after finding success. How fake friends will hit you up after you're doing well, but weren't there for you when you needed help."

ABOUT NATE VICKERS
For Houston-born artist Nate Vickers, perfection isn’t a pursuit – it’s a mandate. Guided by an unflinching commitment to total artistic integrity and execution, Vickers has spent years carving out his own lane where raw emotion meets dark, cinematic soundscapes and precision is everything.
Gravitating towards rock and metal from a young age, Vickers found music early. “I was a big fan of Kiss when I was a kid,” he recalls. “I watched their concert on TV and thought, ‘that's incredible.’” Around age five Vickers formed an unlikely friendship with an eccentric older neighbor and musician who sold him his first drum set and taught him guitar chords. From there, the obsession never stopped. In high school, he began to find his voice thanks to screamo youtube covers he recorded in his bedroom. By 18, Vickers began teaching himself to sing. A natural performer, Vickers has since honed a powerfully confident voice defined by depth, raw emotion, and grit. Holding nothing back, he stylistically sells every word he sings – a foundational mentality to his creative identity.
He carried this mindset into the studio when he started recording original music in 2016. Teaming up with producer Robby Joyner after the dissolution of an early band, Vickers launched his solo project. To this day, Robby is his producer and creative partner. “We align really well stylistically and creatively. If we have to do eight vocal sessions for one song, we'll do it. We don't care … whatever makes it perfect. We both have extremely high standards.” Vickers has since garnered more than 16 million streams on Spotify and 1.5 million followers on Tiktok.
Along the way, however, Vickers faced waves of self-doubt. “I was impressionable and cared about other people's opinions a lot. It finally came to a point where I was either gonna quit doing music or fix that.” With newfound inspiration, he’s entering a revived era of unapologetic artistic vision. “I've always known exactly what I wanted to do. What I want to do right now is the same thing I wanted to do when I was 16,” he says.
Sonically, Vickers draws from the emotional grit of Deftones and the moody tension of The Neighbourhood, forging a hybrid of dark, moody alt-rock and more in-your-face alt-metal.
