Success story

Nathan was born in Burton-upon-Trent on May 25, 1994.

He first came to public attention by releasing music on Soundcloud, notably across a number of different genres.

Impressively, Nathan sold out a concert at the O2 Arena, becoming the first person to do so without having his own radio show or hit single.

He has worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Little Mix, Joel Corry and Malika.

His biggest hit to date was the single "Lighter" which features YouTuber KSI and singer Ella Henderson on vocals.

The track reached number 3 in the UK singles chart, and was nominated for Song of the year at the 2021 BRIT Awards.

So far, Nathan has had two UK top 10 tracks and seven in the UK Top 20 official singles chart.

Former flame

Nathan was previously in a relationship with former Love Islander Lucinda Strafford.

Lucinda appeared in series 7 of the show in 2021, entering on day 9 and being dumped on day 28.

She also appeared on Love Island Australia, finishing as runner-up on season 5 of the show alongside Zac Dunns.

Nathan and Lucinda split in June 2024, just weeks after publicly announcing their relationship.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun in 2024, Lucinda said: “My last relationship was quite a chilled one. Nathan [Dawe] is literally the best and we still have conversations from time to time. I wouldn’t say we’re friends but we’re on good terms and chilled.”

She went on to reveal that the reason they had split was down to their conflicting schedules.

She went on to say: “We were dating at the start of summer and he’s the busiest through summer with his music, so it was kind of like both of our schedules were so busy that it was hard to put time into the relationship.”

Love Island appearance

It was revealed that Nathan was set to perform his new single during the Love Island All Stars series 2 final, at a pool party for the remaining couples.

He is also set to play his most well known hits, including 21 reasons, a song with former X Factor star Ella Henderson.
