About

Members: Nathaniel Swettenham

Manager: 'Artistic Industries' angie@artisticindustries.co.uk

Bio: A solo performer, he stands before you ukelele in hand, with apparent nonchalance, and sings for you. Songs that combine intelligence and wit, a rare combination, drawing you in with the cleverest of lyrics woven through toe-tapping melodies, as engaging as if he were a ukelele-playing ‘Pied Pipe...

“One of Leicester's more unusual acoustic acts arrived on the stage at the Watering Hole in the shape of The Skunk Boy Project. Armed with his trade-mark Ukulele this distinctive singer and songwriter filled the tent with a goodly dose of charm and eloquence. On stage with Nate was his sister Elle who added in some vocal layering for some of the songs and his backing tracks which had been produced by his brother Al Swettenham. Another of this year's remarkable discoveries, Nate's reputation has been spreading like wild fire and it all looks very good for him. ”

— Arts In Leicestershire, SUMMER SUNDAE WEEKENDER

““Skunk Boy is a singer/songwriter who aspires to deliver something new, new styles, new sounds, new lyrics, new music. He grew up in Melton Mowbray playing the piano from an early age and now he drags a ukulele with him wherever he goes. There are millions of people out there for whom music provides a remedy, a driving force and an inspiration; and there are millions more who haven’t found the right music.” ”

— Jelli Records, REDFEST BRISTOL

"Breathless, bouncy and catchier than chlamydia, this first effort from Melton's SBP could restore faith amongst the most jaded of cynics in the lost art of the intelligent pop song. Splicing strands of hip hop, indie and R&B into something that doesn’t really resemble any of them is a skill in itself, but tossing wry lyrics and fiendishly hummable tunes into the mix is, quite frankly, taking the piss."

— EP Review by Alex Scoppie, THE MONOGRAPH

“Now established as a well known artist, Nate has appeared on a variety of festival stages including last year's Summer Sundae, and once you have seen him, you are unlikely to forget his highly distinctive and original act. No safe, mainstream, comfortable material for him; he has carved out a niche for himself and revealed just how creative an artist he is.”

— Trevor Locke, ARTS IN LEICESTERSHIRE
