Getting to Know Nathan Cavaleri

We asked Sydney-based indie-rock and blues artist Nathan Cavaleri to tell us about himself:

I am… Nathan Cavaleri. I grew up in south-west Sydney playing guitar from the age of 3. Passion was the only natural quality I possessed. My ability is the result of hard work.

Demons is… a snapshot of how I felt when reflecting on my past self during a time when I was fragile and ruled by anxiety – Not a pity song, loss showed me what I took for granted and sparked the determination to claim it all back with gratitude. Listen on Spotify.

Home is… technically south of Sydney but really, it’s wherever/whenever I feel at peace. It is currently when I’m lost in a song, on stage, playing with my kids, surrounded by family and friends where I can be myself. Home is when I feel healthy, alive and content in any given moment.

I spend too much time… reading self help books! Nah, too much time anticipating and over-thinking. It’s a habit that evolved with my passion to realise my dreams. Goal setting mentality is a great thing but only if you can anchor yourself to the moment and use foresight as a tool rather than a state of being.

I’ve never… kissed Jessica Alba (everyone else drink!) ha! I hate name dropping but couldn’t resist.

It might surprise people to learn that… I’ve never wanted to be a full-time touring artist and enjoy taking freezing cold showers on a habitual basis. Thank you Wim Hoff!
