With his trademark live Fluteboxing (beatboxing through the flute while and playing it at the same time) Nathan ‘Flutebox’ Lee’s explosive blend unites hip hop, beatbox and breakbeats with classical Indian, jazz and funk melodies.

Nathan Lee is a true 21st Century musical pioneer, taking live acoustic performance to the next level and urban music into uncharted waters. His hi-octane, hyper-percussive show combines the raw energy and attitude of hip hop and jazz beats with the intricacies and musicianship of classical Indian music.

He has collaborated live and in the studio with, among others, Nitin Sawhney, The Prodigy, The Roots, K.T. Tuntstall, Beardyman, Plan B, Asian Dub Foundation, Foreign Beggars, Rodney P & Skitz, Mattafix and Ed Rush & Optical. Nathan has established himself as a UK festival favourite, appearing at Bestival (main stage 2008 and 2009) as well as WOMAD (UK, Spain and Gran Canaria – main stage), Larmer Tree and Glastonbury. He is also spreading his sound across Europe plus, India, Russia, U.S, Mexico, Abu Dhabi, South East Asia and beyond.

Nathan has just finished his spell as an emerging artist in residence at London’s prestigious Southbank Centre and in September sold out the Purcell Room, an event which featured a whole host of brilliant collaborators including Riz MC, Shri and B.L.O.T (India’s top VJ collective). The event was hosted by the irrepressible Howard Marks.

He has also written and performed on the score to online drama/murder mystery Who Killed Summer, currently taking the nation’s teenagers by storm this summer. Expect his first CD release later this year.

After leaving school and working as a labourer for five years Nathan Lee put down his shovel and picked up a flute... not your average path to musical success but then again Nathan Lee is not your average musician. Half Indian and half Scottish, this former pirate radio Jungle MC has a musical education in hip hop, jazz and Tchaikovsky, complemented in recent years by a love of Eastern music inspired by frequent visits to perform in India.

In his spellbinding live show he is joined by his band The Clinic – an astounding array of talented musicians from all parts of the globe who take you on a magic carpet ride through dusty Asian streets via New York block parties and grimy London clubs.

This is live music equally at home in a sweaty London club or the Royal Festival Hall. Jump up or stroke your chin – the choice is yours!
