About me.

Hello, I’m Nate Zivin—a passionate freelance musician, composer, audio engineer, teacher, and producer with over two decades of experience, now thriving as a digital nomad in Indonesia after calling Austin, TX home.


My Lifelong Musical Foundation

From piano at age 5, classical guitar at 10, drums and songwriting at 12, to mastering jazz piano at 18, I’ve honed versatile skills across instruments—piano being my strongest. I earned a B.S. in Sound Recording Technology from Texas State University (2023, jazz piano concentration), an A.A.S. in Music Business Performance & Technology from Austin Community College (2018), and a Small Business Management Certificate (2025).

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passage.
