2024 has seen Nate work with the QLD Museum to perform during World Science Festival Brisbane, deliver another amazing sold out planetarium show in August for National Science Week and start work on a song co-written with astrophysicist Dr Kirsten Banks!​
In 2023, Nate embarked on a national tour to promote his debut album 'Road to Reason' and received the Thornett Award from the Australian Skeptics for "The promotion of reason, science, critical thinking and skepticism through music, art and interactive activities".
​
The crown jewel of the tour was a very special double sold out live performance to celebrate the album's digital and vinyl release inside the cosmic skydome at the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium.
The show was so well received that Nate now runs a yearly planetarium show during National Science Week.
​
'Road to Reason', self-produced during 2022, is an eclectic mix of sounds, both funny and serious tones, exploring Nate's path from the darkness of ignorance toward the light of scientific and critical thinking, with songs from the album being nominated in the International Songwriting Competition and the Great American Song Contest.
​
Including brand new hits like:
'The song THEY don't want you to hear' , 'It's Not You, It's Corona' and 'Can You Guess My Star Sign?' featuring Australia's favourite science communicator, Dr Karl Kruszelnicki!
​
Followers still sing along to his previous hit ‘The Sound a Duck Makes’, taking aim at dishonest medical pretenders and advocating the return of the term 'Quack' and fan favourite song exploring the universe ‘We’re All Aliens, Baby’.

“...intriguing, intelligent and highly original!"
–Finalist feedback, Great American Song Contest
““Are we alone? Where are all the aliens?“. It’s a timeless question everything from the X-Files, Star Trek and Government agencies have attempted to explore, and now ‘We’re All Aliens, Baby’ is giving listeners the chance to step out of their micro-worldview and expand their horizons, once more.“
– Single review, Music is My Muse
“Conspiracy of One’s new single 'Don’t Forget To Like!' masks witty wordplay and social commentary under a genuinely solid piece of song-craft.“
– Single review, Happy Mag
Like single launch Jun 2019.
Attendees of his live shows can expect wit, humour and genuine charm as he welcomes you to share in his passion for
science and critical thinking through music, games,
crowd participation and more.
Underneath the veneer of fun catchy sounds,
his ultimate goal is to involve YOU.
To encourage new perspectives and critical thought about our modern society; to foster an appreciation for science and rationality; and to see that in a world so full of misinformation, frauds and
fakes, working out for yourself what’s real and what isn’t
might just be a little easier.
“From the opening See Food Diet, with its quick-witted lyrics and smooth funky guitar sound, I knew we were in for some fun…
With no doubt I will absolutely be returning to see
Conspiracy of One again!“
– Live show review, GCLive
“Such an amazing band! Tight, fun, engaging and
fantastic musicianship and compositions.“
