When Nat and Alex were very young they climbed out of the bath one day, Ms. Draper recalled, and both announced, “We’re the Naked Brothers Band!” as they danced around the apartment. In preschool Nat formed a band with his best friends.
Nat began writing songs at the age of four, and has written over 150 songs. He lists the [[Great Britain|British]] [[rock music|rock]] band [[The Beatles]] as one of his biggest inspirations,{{Fact|date=September 2007}} and his song "If There was a Place to Hide" is very similar to The Beatles' "[[Let it Be]]". Nat gained notice when, to "do a benefit for [[firefighter]]s' kids" in the wake of the [[September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks]], he held his birthday party at a [[fire station]] and performed a self-written song "Firefighters" (later retitled "Rosalina" for [[The Naked Brothers Band (film)|The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie]]); the event raised [[U.S. dollar|US $]]45,000 in charitable contributions and donated it all.{{Fact|date=September 2007}} He attended [[French Woods Festival of the Performing Arts]] over the summers of 2004 and 2005. He has been playing piano since he was 5-years-old. He started ''The Naked Brothers Band'' with his brother, [[Alex Wolff|Alex]]. He [[wrote]], [[directed]], and [[produced]] a short film called ''Don't Eat Off My Plate'' starring his parents in the summer of 2005.
“Nat decided he wanted to film his own sitcom, so we did a film called “Don’t Eat Off My Plate,” ” Ms. Draper said. “I pretended to interview his friends and do a documentry.” And that was the beginning of the Naked Brothers movie, roughly a five-week adventure in 2004 using mostly friends and family members, with a budget under $1 million. (“We would sneak into locations and run,” Ms. Draper said.) The movie won an audience award for family feature film at the Hamptons International Film Festival in 2005. It then came to the attention of Nickelodeon, which acquired it for broadcast with minor changes and developed the series.
The movie is part [[documentry]], part [[mockumentry]], and a lot of fun in between, it tracks down a kids’ rock band that struggles through censorship, superstardom, and girls.

When Nat and Alex were very young they climbed out of the bath one day, Ms. Draper recalled, and both announced, “We’re the Naked Brothers Band!” as they danced around the apartment. In preschool Nat formed a band with his best friends.

“Nat decided he wanted to film his own sitcom, so we did a film called “Don’t Eat Off My Plate,” ” Ms. Draper said. “I pretended to interview his friends and do a documentry.” And that was the beginning of the Naked Brothers movie, roughly a five-week adventure in 2004 using mostly friends and family members, with a budget under $1 million. (“We would sneak into locations and run,” Ms. Draper said.) The movie won an audience award for family feature film at the Hamptons International Film Festival in 2005. It then came to the attention of Nickelodeon, which acquired it for broadcast with minor changes and developed the series.

The movie is part documentry, part mockumentry, and a lot of fun in between, it tracks down a kids’ rock band that struggles through censorship, superstardom, and girls. It premiered on Nickelodeon, January 27, 2007. It’s got a lot of irreverence and a lot of reality,” Ms. Draper said of the family’s creative venture.

When actress Allie DiMeco (Rosalina) appeared on the making of the “Naked Brothers Band Movie,” Nat developed a little crush on her, so the producers of “naked brothers” decided to add that part to the movie to make it an even more of a “Beatle-ish” mockumentry spoof exaggerating the crush of Rosalina (Allie) a bit more than it really is.
