Nathan Tasker is a prominent Christian singer/songwriter from Australia. He was named 2006 "Artist of the Year" and awarded "Song of The Year" by the Australian Christian Music Charts. He has written, recorded and produced several gospel albums. His song "Like You Love Me" reached #1 on the TRAA weekly Contemporary Top 30 chart[1]
Nathan made his first public performance in 1993, and has since been involved in Christian Ministry through writing, singing and speaking. Over this period he has completed approximately 1200 performances.[2] His work is wide reaching, and incorporates visits to schools, churches, conventions, prisons and the media. Previously working from a Sydney base, he would annually visit the United States, Western Europe, the United Kingdom and South Africa. Nathan currently lives in Nashville with his wife Cassie.
As a Contemporary Christian musician, his songs are not only focussed on the Christian message of God’s love for mankind, but also cover many aspects of the human condition.[3]
On Wednesday the 10th of August 2011 Nathan's wife, Cassie, went into labour prematurely and gave birth to twins who did not survive.[4]
