Nathan Brannon
Nathan is a comedian, originally out of Portland (OR), who is consistently adding to his list of accomplishment year after year.
In 2018, Nathan's work with "The Hamster Village," a podcast examining interracial families, recently presented a new opportunity for him as Lead Audio Instructor for the "Rural American Digital Lab(RADLab);" a program that promotes dialogue, through digital storytelling, between urban & rural areas.
In 2016, Nathan recorded his second album, 'Because'. The album was produced by distinguished record label, Kill Rock Stars, who signed him in 2015. In 2014, was the winner of the Seattle International Comedy Competition, was included in the Willamette Week's "Portland's Funniest" in 2013, released his first comedy album 'I Black Out' that same year, and was crowned Portlands Funniest Person in 2012.
He has been featured in publications & programs such as NPR's 'Weekend Edition,' 'Laughs' on Fox, NBC, The Los Angeles Times, and The Guardian Newspaper. Nathan has also worked with comedians such as Dave Chappelle, Damon Wayans, Maria Bamford, Roy Wood Jr, and has photoshopped himself into photos with many more. Currently, Nathan is seeking a funnier way to end this paragraph.
Also, check out Nathan's podcast, 'The Hamster Village', a show examining interracial experiences. The show has listenership in over 25 countries, and has been very active with outreach in the interracial community. Check out the show website, TheHamsterVillage.com, for more about that outreach, including "Mixed Memories"; an event for interracial families/individuals to create collective family-history albums, using fun arts & crafts techniques.

Nathan's 2nd album: BECAUSE
What does 'Because' represent?
"Because" represents the eventual answer that you receive when examining why we all do the things that we do. If you ask enough follow-up questions, you will discover that "all roads lead to the same place." Nathan's desire for this album was not to change hearts & minds of listeners, but to inspire people to examine how, and why, they operate the way they do this society.
Nathan's 1st album: I BLACK OUT
What does "I Black Out" represent?
You could say it just refers to drinking to much, OR you can dig deeper to find the true meaning Nathan's album. When you "Black Out" you don't remember anything that is said to you during that period later on. Nathan decided to take that description and use it as a metaphor for staying true to yourself.
Early on in Nathan's career he was told, by just about everyone, that trying to make a living with nothing but his passion was the most foolish thing he could have done. He soon realized that the only way for him to make his dreams reality was to first shut out the opposition coming at him from all sides.From then on, when someone told him something wasn't possible, he would respectfully take there criticism, and return to his work, as if nothing had been said at all.
It is for this reason, that Nathan named his album "I Black Out". It's not about one too many drinks; it's about believing in your self, even if you are the only one.
