cover story nathan taylor caught up with australian guitar superstar nathan cavaleri about his new band nat col the kings his unbelievable childhood and working alongside music royalty 3 t s hard to imagine that a kid who wasn t even in high school at the time could capture the world s attention all because he could play a bit of guitar okay maybe that s playing it down just a tad at the tender age of just 10 nathan cavaleri wasn t your average schoolboy he was a worldwide megastar and one of the planet s most naturally gifted guitarists/musicians anyone had ever seen nathan was so huge he was an international touring sensation and caught the eye of not only fans across the globe but some of the world s biggest music acts including mark knopfler of dire straits b.b king prince led zeppelin chuck berry and `some guy called michael jackson nathan said he looks back on his unique childhood as something he will never forget my childhood was great he said i made some choices to live a life that was a little bit different to what `normal kids experience my parents made sure that the family stayed together so when we went on tour it was all of us i can imagine things would ve ended up very different if they were letting me go on the road by myself with the session players and tour manager nathan s talents were in high demand not only in australia but overseas as well he was a regular fixture on popular variety show `hey hey it s saturday as well as some of america s biggest shows including `entertainment tonight `good morning america and `late night with conan o brien nathan said because he was so young he was fairly naïve to all the i guitar kid is all grown up attention he was receiving from the world s media as well as some rock n roll giants at that age you don t even realise it and you don t even know the reality of the situation he said the funniest thing about the whole period was i didn t know who i was playing with or who i was teaming up with nathan recalls a story of a trip to a three-day festival in zurich switzerland in 1995 where he played on stage after elton john and before led zeppelin s jimmy page and robert plant i knew who elton john was but didn t know who page or plant were nathan said so i get off stage and this pommy guy comes up to me and asks me for a cd so i walk over to my mum and said `this guy over there wants a cd can you grab him one mum just stopped and looked and said `what that guy over there and i went `yeah and she said `that s jimmy page from led zeppelin and i was like `who s jimmy page and who s led zeppelin that night was very educational for me i saw their set as page and plant and was blown away still not knowing who they were i was more rapt to be hanging out with ugly kid joe than jimmy page and robert plant nathan said it was probably a good thing that he was so unaware of who he was surrounding himself with i believe you can t learn when you re starstruck he said i was walking around like a sponge so anything i liked i would listen to i d watch and take it on it was actually a really good thing i didn t know who these stars were in 1994 nathan had three record companies in a bidding war for his signature ­ one owned by prince one by madonna and one called mjj records owned by michael jackson after much thought nathan signed a worldwide recording deal with mjj michael jackson had a lot to do with the american side of my career and he was the reason we spent half the year in the states nathan said the people working for mjj records were a real honest bunch my parents were still learning and were doing their best to keep me away from the `sharks and at the same time trying to identify them which was difficult when you don t have the experience we were just lucky that the people we worked with really did have our best interests at heart fast-forward nearly 15 years nathan cavaleri now 29 is all grown up and fronting his own two-piece band called nat col the kings after years out of the spotlight working behind the scenes and producing local bands nathan has teamed up with former screaming jets drummer col hatchman to get back to the blues and roots genre he loves so much i had a break for a while trying to work out what i wanted to do and work out musically where my passion lies stylistically and basically it s still got these bluesy roots i can t escape them i ve tried nathan laughs our sound is loud rocking powerful and fiery but still pretty feelgood my partner in the band col is almost like a frontman himself ­ he s pretty bloody amazing nathan and col have been working together for the past seven years in various formats including a stint in a punk rock band nathan said it took a few years of jamming together to work out what direction they wanted to go in the good thing about the band is we decided to put it together not for any reason outside of wanting to connect with people via music he said it wasn t about success or money or trying to get a record deal it was just about going on the road playing some good blues rock music michael jackson had a lot to do with the american side of my career he was the reason we spent half the year in the states fyi issue 62 editor troy dodds troy.dodds@mediaview.com.au published by mediaview pty ltd printed at spot press pty ltd fyi advertising manager emily.larkham
