* JULY 9TH - RAIN FALLS IN MAY
I'm so proud of the work Candice Jackson put in making this song come to life. She was a former member of my band, The Noise Revival Orchestra, and it's glad to reconnect with her now as a composer. She really brings a beautiful quality with her singing. Please check out the video and if you like the song, it's available to stream on SPOTIFY and download on iTUNES

* TUESDAY MARCH 17TH - OPERATION LOCKDOWN
It's been an unprecedented time for everyone with cities and countries on lockdown.  There is so much uncertainty in my life and career as an artist.  As we all wait to see how all unfolds, time to reflect is abundant. For starters I'd like to share a teaser from my Alien operetta last fall.  This teaser was created by director, Deepak Chetty, in an effort to bring the performance to New York, Los Angeles and Europe, but those efforts are on hold.  I pray this piece and my public performances will see the light of day on the other side of the tunnel.  For now, I hope you'll enjoy.  And if you find it in your heart and have the means, any donations are welcome via Paypal button above or Venmo @NathanFelix.  All donations are appreciated as supplemental income while I wait out the storm.
