Nathan Gross’s Stories, Lessons & Insights

We recently had the chance to connect with Nathan Gross and have shared our conversation below.

Good morning Nathan, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What are you chasing, and what would happen if you stopped?
I’m currently chasing being a full-time musician while also becoming a music teacher. If I had stopped, I’m not sure what else I would do with my life.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am in a few bands as a keyboardist and orchestrator: Haven Dream, Blood of Indigo, and Age of Athena. I also have my side business Studio Grandiose where I work with clients on their music.

Haven Dream recently released our latest single “Senseless”, and we are very proud of it. It’s a song about the devastating consequences of overthought and mental torment. You can find it on YouTube and all streaming platforms.

Okay, so here’s a deep one: What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
The first moment I discovered I could improvise. I felt a connection with music I hadn’t had before. I still feel this connection to this day and I am still trying new things.

What did suffering teach you that success never could?
It teaches you how to persevere in hard times/difficult situations, and your mindset is everything when deciding how to move forward.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
That you have to follow a formula to be successful. Here’s the honest answer: there isn’t one, and everybody is different. Keep working on what is authentic to yourself, learn and grow, keep improving on your craft, and you’ll get there.

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. Have you ever gotten what you wanted, and found it did not satisfy you?
I think musicians always face this dilemma. I’ve released two albums so far, and a few singles, and I still don’t feel satisfied. I think we’re always trying to improve to create our best work.
