Self Portraits of a John Doe

The Better Part

Nate Michael is an Australian singer-songwriter whose music blends the storytelling traditions of folk with the raw textures of grunge, rock, country, and blues. Raised in the coastal town of Warrnambool, Victoria, Nate’s songwriting is shaped by a deep connection to place and the human stories that inhabit it. His work explores themes of home, belonging, loss, addiction, betrayal, and resilience—often with an unpolished honesty that resonates long after the last note fades.
