Nate Lyles is a visual artist with over 15 years of experience, specializing in various formats to effectively convey narratives. Whether independently or collaboratively, he is dedicated to creating compelling work, cultivating relationships, and embracing new creative challenges. His enthusiasm for storytelling extends into filmmaking, marketing, advertising, and livestream content, providing additional avenues to express creativity --- Nate Lyles was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Parts of his childhood were spent along the east coast of the USA. (He would later spend 10+ years in southern California/Los Angeles) Throughout his high school days Nate used his artistic abilities, drawing and painting, to earn extra cash. During the summer youth work programs, he drew comic strips for a local paper and conducted an art program for elementary kids at a YWCA. This, along with his two years at Temple University's Entrepreneurial Youth Program helped further a growing independent drive and direction toward a more business mindset. Directly after graduating high school Nate decided to tackle all of his individual artistic passions head on. He attended community college taking only classes of interest (e.g. Theater, Abnormal Psychology, etc). The theater courses there lead him to join a theater group in Pennsylvania to polish his performance skills which then presented him the opportunity to act on stage for the first time. Also, soon after high school Nate created music projects in a Hip-Hop group called Exiles, started an air-brush apparel business, and landed a few modeling gigs, a couple leads in independent films, plus background roles in major motion pictures. The business side of entertainment was recognized and absorbed throughout these educational, hands-on years in each artistic field. Thus, this hands-on education and growth continued upon his solo drive across the country to live, work, and study in Los Angeles, California [USA] for a little over a decade. Nate continues to hone his talents, absorb lessons through experiences, and build on his brand with a community of his peers.
