Nathan was one of seven children of Gwendolyn and Thomas East. His interest in music dates back to his early years, when he began playing the cello in seventh grade while attending Horace Mann Junior High School. Nathan’s music interest deepened when he was 14 and began playing bass guitar. After matriculating from Crawford High School, he enrolled at the University of California, San Diego, California, from which he graduated in 1978 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in music.

In his longtime music career, which is now spanning almost 42 years, Nathan East has added over 2000 various recordings to his professional portfolio, which have made him one of the most recorded bass guitarists in the modern history of music. He has performed and collaborated with numerous music stars including, apart from all those already mentioned above, Barry White, Bryan Ferry, Toto, Anita Baker, Whitney Houston, B. B.

He played bass on Eric Clapton’s Grammy-winning album “Unplugged” as well as on Daft Punk’s Grammy-winning hit single “Get Lucky”. It is certain that all these achievements have helped Nathan East to earn the respectable sum of $2 million.

#Quote
1[on learning to cope with different tuning protocols for cello and bass, both of which he plays] When sight-reading music, the note you're looking for falls in different places on the neck of each instrument, so your brain has to compensate to be proficient in both. I gladly focused my attention on the bass and wired my brain for an instrument tuned in fourths.
#Fact
