Nathan Sykes: What if he said yes to a solo deal rather than joining The Wanted?

Nathan Sykes is a Singer Song-writer best known as a member of the multi platinum selling boy band ‘The Wanted’, with global chart topping hits such as ‘Glad You Came’, ‘Chasing The Sun’ and ‘All time low’. He is also a successful solo artist reaching a billion streams with the first stage of his solo career. Taking a break after the tragic death of band member Tom Parker, Nathan has now returned to his music. Fresh from releasing his first solo track in eight years, ‘Getting Lost’, his new long awaited album ‘Ultraviolet’ is out this October!In this episode Nathan opens up about his time in the band, dealing with grief, self discovery and finally starting to feel like he knows who he is and the artist he wants to be! He discusses his thoughts on believing his life is mapped out for him, and sometimes feeling he is on autopilot and just knows what decisions to make! His three Sliding Doors Moments include: choosing to go to Sylvia Young's rather than Grammar School, choosing to join The Wanted over solo record deals (even though he never wanted to be in a boyband!) and choosing to follow his gut leave his record label after they offered him a deal.Follow the podcast to keep up to date with episodes each week!
