Hailing from Grand Blanc, Michigan, Nathan Lee Setto is more than just a pop/R&B artist – he is the maestro behind the widely acclaimed EP, “City Boy,” cherished by fans spanning the globe. This musical masterpiece derives its name from the three distinct cities that have left an indelible mark on Nate’s journey, shaping both the man and musician he is today.
Grand Blanc, the city of Nate’s birth, serves as the foundation of his musical roots. It’s here that he navigated grade school corridors and graced the stage of school talent shows, honing the craft that would later captivate audiences worldwide. Grand Blanc, with its suburban charm, laid the groundwork for Nate’s artistic evolution.
Flint, another city etched in the chapters of Nate’s life, brought about a stark contrast. While not his primary residence, Nate worked at the family liquor store in Flint since childhood. Here, amidst the challenges of a more gritty environment—marked by addiction, prostitution, and street fighting—Nate not only adapted but became a vital part of the community. His music resonated with people, creating a following that stemmed from both his talent and character.
Lastly, Detroit emerges as a pivotal city in Nate’s journey. While he had familial ties to Detroit, it was the city’s vibrant music scene that left an enduring impact. It was in Detroit that Nate crossed paths with his producer, WavyDavy, and stage presence coach, Brandon Smith, known for his role in “Love & Marriage: Detroit.” These mentors played a pivotal role in advancing Nate’s career, nurturing his talent, and guiding him towards musical excellence.
“City Boy” is more than an EP; it’s a sonic exploration of the highs and lows of life, resonating with fans globally. Nate Setto’s musical odyssey across Grand Blanc, Flint, and Detroit is a celebration of the diverse influences that have shaped him, resulting in an EP that transcends borders and connects with the hearts of listeners worldwide.
