Nate Lyles is a visual artist known for creating Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Comic-based content through short films, fan-films, podcasts, hosting game shows & interviews, plus more. His fan-films were accepted and premiered at the Los Angeles Comic-Con three consecutive years and his YouTube channel continues to grow each day, beyond 10,000 subscribers. Building a community of his peers in the "geek culture" space has been a fun and exciting journey!
Nate was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Parts of his childhood were spent along the east coast of the USA. Throughout his high school days Nate used his artistic abilities, drawing and painting, to earn extra cash. During the summer youth work programs he drew comic strips for a local paper and conducted an art program for elementary kids at a YWCA. This, along with his two years at Temple University's Entrepreneurial Youth Program helped further a growing independent drive and direction toward a more business mindset. Directly after graduating high school Nate decided to tackle all of his artistic passions head on. He attended community college taking only classes of interest (e.g. Theater, Abnormal Psychology). The Theater courses there lead him to join a theater group in Pennsylvania to polish his performance skills which then presented him the opportunity to act on stage for the first time. Also, soon after high school Nate created music projects in a Hip-Hop group called Exiles, started an air-brush apparel business, and landed a few modeling gigs, plus a couple leads in independent films & background roles in major motion pictures. The business side of entertainment was recognized and absorbed throughout these educational, hands-on years in each artistic field. Thus, this hands-on education and growth continued upon his driving across the country to live, work, and study in Los Angeles, California [USA] for a decade. Nate continues to hone his talents, absorb lessons through experiences, and build on his brand with a community of his peers. |
