Features a Track with His Father, Paul Weller, on Guitar



Nat Weller, born into a British musical dynasty, is the son of UK rock icon Paul Weller and D.C. Lee, who served as a side vocalist for The Style Council. While active as a DJ and model in the UK, Nat was deeply influenced by Japanese music, culture, and visuals during a tour with his father in his teens. This sparked a dream to become a Japanese artist who could share J-POP and J-ROCK with the world. Since then, he has studied Japanese and visited Japan over 50 times for both work and leisure.



Now, he makes his anticipated Japanese debut with the mini-album "It Begins." The album presents a genre-defying, borderless sound, incorporating everything from EDM party tunes to serious dubstep. Remarkably, it also includes three songs with Japanese lyrics. Among them, "Burning in The Light," the fifth track, is a notable piece featuring his father, Paul Weller, on guitar.

Weller describes Japanese music as "impressive for its beautiful melodies combined with unique styles like heavy rock and EDM." His potential is highly anticipated, not only for his musicality but also for his broad appeal, leveraging his striking looks.
