I am a singer/songwriter living in Virginia. I began writing songs at about 6 and they went something like...I love you mama, I know you love me too! I have a writing catalog of about 200 songs, all number one hits...interested? I would love my material to be performed by some huge Nashville star...but since nobody is knockin' the door down...I guess I'll sing them myself! Check out my website www.natesparks.com and let me know what you think!!

I just want to thank all of my friends for their constant support and love throughout the past few months. I'm so glad I joined this site and am so thankful for all of the wonderful people i've met here. I wanted to take a second to wish everyone the best of luck in this last week of the Spin Pursuit and tell everyone who makes the finals not to take it for granted. There are 476 people who would kill for the spot you will have and I hope you know how talented and loved you are to be able to make it there. For those who don't win or make the finals, never give up. I know i won't. Cherish the relationships you've developed throughout this ride and consider yourself lucky to have done so. There will be other opportunities for you. As for the winner, I will be behind you 100% and wish you the best throughout your career as I will be following it. I truly love everyone that I have been blessed to meet on this site and you are all very dear to me. So once again, good luck, God bless, and i hope we have a great finish to this thing!Hank Grant says

Thanks for the comments Nate! I just saw em. I wish they would inform you when you have new song/playlist comments! Oh well, thanks again man!LoVE SeX n DeATH says
~> VOTE <~ ~SATURDAY~~LSD~ Wow, I had no idea that this was the last day of this phase of the competition. A SPECIAL CONGRATS TO AARON CHARLES "SINGLE FATHER" FOR HIS 1st PLACE IN THE 1st PHASE OF THIS COMPETITION. TALK ABOUT LAST MINUTE GAME WIN! LOL. GOOD JOB BRO! YOU DESERVE IT. I don't know how everything works, but I suspect not as many comments for all of us. So I guess I'll say thank you to everyone for your continuous love & support for each other. I've learned a great deal so far. My only regret right now, is that I didn't think of doing the salutes earlier, as I still have a long list of artists here. But hey, this isn't the last competition here on MN, and I will continue to spread the love whenever I can, to whoever is willing to read what I have to say, and I will continue with that ever growing list when it's gonna be seen by many, like in this contest. I truly apologize to those who I didn't get to plug, due to the miscalculation on my part. I'm not gonna say good luck, because luck has nothing to do with it. What I will say is..........KICK FUCKING ASS PEEPS! You have all amazed me, and made this my favorite community site! I LOVE YOU 4 EVER!!!! SALUTED: Rick Frost: "Dogs in the Moonlight" http://musicnation.com/music/rickfrost/dogs-in-the-moonlight (Hella awesome song, and a Hella awesome musician. You'll love this from the get go. Blending acoustic rhythms with Tasty electric guitar leads, and great Vox (vocals) like Alice in Chains and Led Zeppelin (Gods), Rick gives you a glimpse of his life experiences and views on his world. And a quite melodic world. I promise. I became an instant fan.) Killed by Design: "Get out alive" http://musicnation.com/music/killedbydesign/get-out-alive (These guys fucking floored me. Great hooks, great sound, hard rock, and an amazing vocalist. The singer was very reminiscent of Bono from U2. If I was an A&R Rep for a record company, I would sign them immediately!) Fade Philosophy: "Into the sky" http://musicnation.com/music/fadephilosophy/into-the-sky (These guys way wowed me. An incredible mix of electronic, ambient, rock, metal, etc. Very different. But the coolest part, is that they can separate those different genres in one song. So instead of Industrial because of the mix of electro and rock, you'd have to say rock and electro. Hard to explain. All I know, is that in the intro, I though it was gonna be more ambient, but when it really started, it was rock, the surprised me again with a heavier chorus. This is another one that I would have signed immediately. I guess there's a lot of bands here that I feel that way about. But these guys are the absolute deal!) Morphine Carnival: "Over the Hills" http://musicnation.com/music/morphinecarnival/over-the-hills (Morphine Carnival is all Zach Jacoby. A very unique and interesting style of acoustical rock. He has a cool eccentric style to his tunes. If I had to explain or compare, I would say it was a cross between Janes Addiction and Violent Femmes, but with mostly just an acoustic guitar and vocals. If you wanna hear something different sounding in the acoustic genre, def pay Carnival MNorphine a visit.) SOLARMAGIC: "Areons Meet Star Gazers" http://musicnation.com/music/solarmagic/areons-meet-star-gazers (With a blend of different instruments, sounds, and moods, there are no words that can truly truly describe this ambient space music. But no words are needed, as this instrumental will in fact make you understand the story told here, with your ears and soul. As it says in the bio, "Some artists like to paint canvasses. I like to paint music", Solarmagic's music def paints a picture in your mind, brilliantly in High Definition!) The Advisors: "Illusion" http://musicnation.com/music/afiallo/illusion (The Advisors, is all Bert Fiallo. This music is very well written, with hooky riffs and smooth vox. It has a U-2ish almost 80's feel, but with a more live instrument sound which successfully keeps it from being dated. And I don't mean "keeps from being dated" in a bad way. I feel that's what most artists want, especially when having a song in a retro style. You wanna bring it up to date, or ultimately make it timeless, and he does both. What impresses me most though, is that he does what I wish that I could do. He makes it sound as though more than one person is playing, with different styles or feels in each track/instrument. I would like to be "Advised" by Bert.) AND A SPECIAL ALOHA & MAHALO TO THESE TALENTS THAT I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW A TAD BIT: NEW YORK DISCO VILLAINS* POPPERMOST* BEN VANDAGRIF* THE ONE NEEDERS* PEDESTRIAN X* CRY TO THE BLIND* AVALON PARADE* PMC* ACOUSTIC PHASES* CHRISTY JONES* JUSTINE WILDE* NIKA* DUSE KANNON* MIUMA* GARY SPARKS* RICKY SPARKS* RICHARD BERNSTEIN* WILD BILL AUSTIN* HOINH* BRAVO* ROBERT TIERNAN (God)* DETOUR* RICK FROST* MARK ALAN DOOLEY* POP DOLLS* AC* MARK HOLMAN* WORMAJOR* AARON CHARLES* and of course.....JUGGERNAUT! I'm sorry if I missed you. I'm tryin to rush so that I can get my final votes in! A very VERY special thank you to my dearest friend and promo goddess, Michelle aka LSD's Shell and to her familia! Yes, you too "TheGurl"!! YOU ALL FUCKING RULE!!! ~One Love~ ☆Love Sex n Death☆ Small plug for me. Check out this snippet of my newest recording. It's a cover of EMF's "Unbelievable". Still need a lot of work, as it is only the 2nd day of working on it, but I would like your take on what I have so far. Here's the link. http://musicnation.com/music/lovesexndeath/unbelievable-cover-snippet ThanxXx again!!!!!

Hey Nate,I heard you my first time on here yesterday... Really love the feel of "Greatest Success"... Truely well done... And, you've achieved that other great success all song writers strive for; ie, being able to reach a part of someone else who feels the story behind the music... I wish you continued success my friend and perhaps someday, we both, will have some great Nashville talent sing a song or two of ours... Keep it comin'; always the way you feel it... Doug
