From Virginia, Nate Layman creates "indie pop with obvious alt-rock and folk roots," reflecting influences like U2, Ed Sheeran, and One Republic.

Nate is the lead singer/songwriter/guitarist/pianist in alternative rock band Beyond The Sea, for which he also wrote and co-produced a full length album titled "The Other Side of Tomorrow."

Nate was also the winner of the SingMeHigh songwriting contest, and he has opened for Grammy award-winning group, Lovelytheband.

About being a Songlorious artist, Nate says, "The impact that songwriting has on all of us is the story that each song contains within it. Story is what inspires and motivates us, and also what cultivates truth and beauty in our lives. Being able to hear your story and use art to immortalize those memories and bring them to life is so special."
