Nathan B.

In 2008, Nathan took control of his music career by establishing his independent label boy Music LLC following a year under contract, and later, a voluntary release from Latium Records. With the release of Alone (EP) and the subsequent release of the Love & Lust album in Japan, Nathan soon headlined Japan’s Save R&B tour in September 2009 and opened for R&B star Babyface at Houston’s Arena Theater in August 2010. In 2010, Nathan’s smash hit “Rock Ya Body,” produced by Texas hit-making duo Beanz N Kornbread, debuted on Billboard’s Top 100 chart at #75 and was heard by more than two million listeners weekly with heavy radio play in Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. The single spent 20 weeks on the Billboard charts. To accompany the single’s wave of success, the “Rock Ya Body” video, which was directed by Michael Kimbrew in association with TF Records, was also released in 2010, and featured Farrah Franklin (formerly of Destiny's Child), Montana Fishburne and Orlando Brown. In 2011, Nathan released the single “Out Da Club” featuring Diamond; soon after, the single’s video—featuring Z-Ro and directed by JC Visuals in association with boy Music LLC—followed.
