From major films to classic independent projects, Nathan West’s career has highlighted his strengths as an actor and producer. With roles in such films as, Disney’s, Miracle and the award winning independent feature, Alleged, he not only proved his strength as an actor but his eye for culture. And as a producer, his projects including IFC’s Brake, demonstrate the depth of his skill for a future forward vision in entertainment. Now, having achieved over 10 years in the industry, West is taking on the recording studio, releasing his debut EP, Nothing Ordinary, in anticipation of his upcoming production of the Independent feature entitled, Into The Mystic. When West was not captivating audiences, in roles such as, Jan in Bring It On, he was growing his musical skills as an instrumentalist and singer/song writer. A lover of many genres, West, draws his musical inspiration from the likes of such greats as Van Morrison, Bob Dylan and Otis Redding. “To me, there’s no other artistic expression more powerful than when story and character take form in the shape of lyric and melody.”

Kat's Story Born in Tokyo and raised in New Zealand, Kat has always loved music. While drawing inspiration from artists like Foo Fighters and Jason Mraz, Kat's Ocean Pop sound is definitely her own. She mixes acoustic guitar-led melodies with emotionally transparent lyrics, delivered in a blend of Japanese and English. She returned to Japan after school and signed with Sony and Avex in 2007. Her partnership with them yielded several mini-albums, her first full album, and a limited vinyl edition of Nagoriyuki, which went to #1 on Japan's Vinyl Charts and sold out in two days. Outside of the studio, Kat has been recognized for her performances in high-profile TV ads. Additionally, she has also performed over 1000 live shows, both throughout Japan and internationally and has shared the stage with bands like Switchfoot and Colbie Caillat. Kat writes about humanity and life. Songs like "Dianna," inspired by a little girl who was born in a trash dump in Nicaragua, to "A little rain" which was written driving through a typhoon on tour in Japan, to "3.11" which was written as a way to deal with the wounds from the Tsunami which ravaged Japan in 2011. Since becoming an independent artist in 2010, Kat has continued to release new albums and tour Japan and the world. Kat changed her home base from Tokyo to LA in 2013 to face a completely new challenge, touring the US and expand her horizons, and 2014 saw the release of a brand new album "Rise Above" about overcoming life’s challenges. Kat's time in the US has kicked off to a promising start, Kat was selected as a top 5 finalist in the Guitar Center Singer-Songwriter competition out of 14,000 submissions in 2015 and was also selected as winner in Youtube's Next Up Class of 2016. After touring extensively for the past three years her focus for 2016 will be primarily on building her youtube channel and writing and recording new songs. When Kat’s not singing for a princess in Japan, girls in a safe house in Nicaragua, or at a college in Oregon, she’s in the studio recording, or baking cookies, or playing ukulele at the beach!
