With aurorawave, Nathan has crafted a fresh and unique sound, blending the reggae melodies that fans know him for with heavier metal elements. The band’s recently released debut album includes collaborations with notable artists like The Ghost Inside, Atreyu, Attila, Surfer Girl, Satsang, and more.
Nathan has also gained recognition through his Pop Punk Goes Reggae project as Nathan Aurora, where he has amassed a significant following on Instagram and TikTok by reimagining punk anthems with a reggae twist. His unique style has earned him tours with The Movement and Pepper, and in 2025, aurorawave is set to perform at multiple major festivals, including:
- Reggae Rise Up Florida
- Reggae Rise Up Arizona
- Cali Roots
- Reggae & Vibes
- Point Break
Nathan sent shockwaves through the industry when he announced an indefinite hiatus for Iya Terra, marking the start of a new chapter with aurorawave. Speaking about the new project, Nathan stated:
“Aurorawave invites listeners into a world where diverse influences converge, creating a sound that is uniquely and unmistakably its own. Masterfully harnessing the raw power of heavier genres and intertwining it seamlessly with the smooth cadence of reggae.”
Over the past year, Nathan has also built momentum by blending reggae vibes with heavy metal and metalcore tracks, teasing fans with his genre-fusing creativity on Instagram and YouTube.
