About Nathan Carter


Nathan Kane Tyrone Carter is a British-born Irish country music singer based in the UK and Ireland. He has released thirteen studio albums and six live albums as of December 2022, five of which peaked at number one, and four live DVDs. He performs Irish folk and country. He is considered the pioneer of Country and Irish music due to the massive popularity of his 2012 cover of the American country song "Wagon Wheel".


Carter was born in Liverpool to parents originally from Newry, Northern Ireland. He went to Bishop Eton School in Allerton, Liverpool. He played the accordion at age four in a school concert, and, at age 10, won the All Ireland Title for Traditional Singing. At 18 he moved to Ireland.


His debut album, Starting Out, was released in 2007 and helped revive the genre of Country and Irish in both Ireland and Great Britain. In 2009 he associated with Irish singer songwriter John Farry, further developing his country music output.


His version of "Wagon Wheel" was released on 15 June 2012 on an album of the same name. The album was a commercial success, hitting the Top Three in the Irish Album Chart. Carter won the RTÉ Irish Country Music Awards for Live Act of the Year and Ireland's All-Time Favourite Country Song for "Wagon Wheel".


Carter released his studio album Where I Wanna Be in August 2013, followed by the follow-up Beautiful Life in 2015 which was promoted with a UK tour. Both albums topped the Irish Albums Chart. Beautiful Life became the first of his albums to chart on the UK Albums Chart.


In late 2015, Carter released Beautiful Life at Christmas, a reissue of his previous releases Beautiful Life and Christmas Stuff, along with songs from previous releases repackaged as a two-CD album. This peaked at number five on the Irish charts.
