When Nate Weatherall started Mad Proppa Deadly, he wanted to be a music mentor for young people – something he wished he’d had. As a young musician, he felt he could have used more support to take his skills, confidence and career to the next level.
‘In my own community, there weren’t the spaces to continue music,’ Nate says. ‘There were no mentors telling me “these are the next steps” – finding gigs, rehearsing – the whole journey and process of being an artist, and the training.’
