With over a dozen solo albums, including six Number One hits in Ireland, Nathan’s music, particularly his cover of Bob Dylan’s “Wagon Wheel,” has gained him widespread recognition.

Nathan talks about his exciting new fashion venture with his clothing brand. We explore why he decided to take this leap and how he’s navigating the challenges of starting something so different from his music career.

Finally, as the brand ambassador for the stunning Lough Erne Resort, Nathan shares what drew him to this role and how he looks after himself personally and professionally.
