AMERICA’S GOT TALENT A&R IN SOUTH AFRICA!

AMERICA’S GOT TALENT A&R IN SOUTH AFRICA!

 

Nate Butler is the current A&R for The X Factor (U.S. season 3) and America's Got Talent. In addition to this, he is an established songwriter, music producer, vocal producer, and recording artist. He is based in Atlanta, Georgia and he has been actively involved in the producing and writing of over 45 million records, which have been sold worldwide. In March 2015 Nate and his team will be traveling to South Africa in order to record the first track on his new album with South African artist, Anais. The track is titled Dance Like David.

 

Anais and Nate Butler originally performed Dance Like David at the International Talent Showcase at Monte Casino, which took place on the 17th and 18th of October 2014. The track was well-received and the show was a huge success. It was featured on television, in magazines, and on online newsstands across South Africa. Nate has wanted to record Dance Like David for quite some time now, but he had made no effort to do so as he had not found the right person yet. This was until he shared the stage at Monte Casino with Anais. It is an honour that Nate has chosen a South African Artist to record with, considering that he is the A&R for America’s Got Talent and an established artist in the United Sates. This collaboration is to be a turning point for the South African entertainment industry and it is to make international news.

 

This collaboration, in association with Just You and Be Your Dream, is to be the first of its kind in South Africa. The track will be recorded in March 2015 in South Africa. By recording Dance Like David together, Anais and Nate will aim to merge American and South African talent in order to produce a track that is of a world class quality. This collaboration will take the South African music industry to a new level and assist in forming bonds and solid relationships across borders.

 

Nate will also be offering a workshop on Tuesday the 3^rd of March for Tsogo Sun’s Arts Academy. The Tsogo Sun Arts Academy aims to develop the artistic talents of learners who come from underprivileged backgrounds. The program aims to provide these learners with essential life skills that they can develop and evolve into a sustainable career. The program makes use of the Teatro at Monte Casino and the Gold Reef City Lyric Theatre in order to showcase and develop the talent of these young individuals. Nate’s workshop will form a part of Tsogo Sun’s Corporate Social Investment Programme. Although the workshop is intended for the Arts Academy, it is free and open to anyone who wishes to attend. During the workshop Nate and Anais will share valuable advice on how to succeed in the entertainment industry at an international level. By using their extensive experience as a platform, Nate and Anais will advise young performers on methods and procedures to follow if they wish to embark on the road towards success.  The workshop will be held at Silverstar Casino and will start at 15h00.  Registration upon arrival.

 

As LifeLine’s National Ambassador, this project and collaboration with Nate is important to Anais. Not only will it merge the South African entertainment industry with that of the states, but it will also provide fellow South African performers with valuable information on how to succeed at an international level, thereby assisting them in achieving their dreams.
