Nate Wong

Nate Wong is one of Hong Kong’s most active and spirited musicians. He is a native of HK who spent his high school and college years in the United States. He attended Berklee College of Music on a scholarship where he created a band named The Jazz Tellers who was signed to the Berklee Jazz, Label Revolution Records. The Jazz Tellers would tour to Hong Kong representing the Berklee College of Music and would set up Nate’s eventual return to Hong Kong.

Upon graduation Nate taught at a Berklee sister University in Ecuador and then returned to US where he joined National touring act The Reeve’s Brothers and performed in almost every State in The United States with them.

In 2014 Nate Wong returns to Hong Kong and hits the ground running in an exciting and versatile performing/band leading/composing career. Nate is a founding member of the band Nowhere Boys who after some indie success was signed to Media Asia during which had several number one hits and awards from 903 Commercial Radio, now Nowhere Boy’s is managed by it’s own company, also founded by Nate called Now Here Records.

All the while, Nate has been performing with HK’s top artistic acts like, Ted Lo, Eugene Pao, HK Philharmonic, Sammi Cheng, Hacken Lee, Anthony Wong and was a featured composer and artist with both the HK Sinfonietta and City Chamber Orchestra. One of Nate’s main International acts is called Dock in Absolute, a globetrotting Jazz Trio based in Europe in which Nate has performed with in Mexico, India, Russia, Korea, Japan, Ukraine and many other.

Today Nate is busy performing, composing and recording. While his roots are firmly planted in Hong Kong they grow in many directions, cross genre and cross culturally as Nate establishes himself as a World Class musician based out of Hong Kong.
