Who are your primary musical and literary influences?
Who are your primary musical and literary influences?
David Nathan
I draw from gospel, classic soul, blues and modern R&B — names like Mahalia Jackson, Sam Cooke, Nina Simone and Otis Redding — and from poets and storytellers such as Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston. Both music and literature feed my research, songwriting and the way I tell stories on stage.
