Music plays a vital role in Nathan Maack’s life. As a soloist and member of multiple music groups, his involvement includes singing, playing instruments, composing, arranging, producing, conducting, as well as marketing and booking events.
Nathan began playing piano by ear at age three. As a young child, he was singing solos at his home church. His love for Southern Gospel music began at three while attending a Cathedral Quartet concert. Although young, it was clear this music had infiltrated his heart.
He joined the Phoenix Boys Choir at age nine. After only one year in the Training Choir, Nathan was accepted into the elite Tour Choir. With this group, he developed his vocal skills and musical knowledge, and traveled throughout North America and Europe.
Nathan has composed more than 140 songs; a majority being gospel music. He wrote his first band composition in Jr. High School and while attending Phoenix Christian High School, he became student conductor of the band and wrote his award-winning second selection. His songs have been used on several CDs.
Nathan became the Director of Music and Media at a Phoenix church in 2003, building the programs from the ground up. Under his leadership, multiple music and tech teams were created. Nathan oversaw and led all Sunday services and music events at the church directing more than 50 volunteers.
In addition to his solo work, he is the pianist and a fill-in vocalist for His Messengers, a regional male vocal ensemble. He also works with Larry Bates (harmonica player) on the Reach The World Tour.
Nathan has performed with the Liberty Quartet and played a piano duet with famed gospel pianist Tim Parton. In February 2015, Nathan was invited to perform two sets as a soloist at the Southwest Gospel Music Festival held at the Grand Canyon University Arena in Phoenix alongside top gospel music groups such as the Booth Brothers, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, and the Hoppers.
Nathan still sings but it became clear that God was leading his main instrument to be the piano. His unique and artistic style have brought joy to those who have heard him in concert, through CDs, and on the internet. Today, he is working on several music and internet projects and ministers in concert.
Nathan has a desire to minister in concert with churches and Christian organizations and events. Since 2000, he has been performing solo concerts at several locations throughout Arizona and the Southwest. Nathan says, “I love that God has given me the talent and opportunity to be an encouragement with the message of living fully alive through Jesus Christ. All the glory belongs to Him.”
