Whether you know it or not, you KNOW Nathan East. Not only is he “A” bass player, he is THE bass player.

You can mention pretty much any important figure from music in the last 5 decades and it’s a solid bet he’s been involved with a collaboration.

From the smooth grooves of Barry White to the innovative beats of Daft Punk, Nathan’s bass has been the backbone of countless hits. His collaborations span genres and generations, making him a true titan of the music industry.

But Nathan’s talents extend beyond the bass. He’s also an accomplished amateur magician as a member of The Magic Castle and the Academy of Magical Arts. His love for magic “and” music began in his childhood, studying cello in his junior high school’s orchestra, much like… uh.. me (Dana).

Today, we dive deep into his musical development and life experiences that which have shaped him into the man he is today.

Buckle up and get ready for a magical musical ride with the one and only, Nathan East on this episode of #UpgradeMe with Dana Leong.
