Nathaniel Roots
Nathaniel is a DJ, producer, and musical artist (KILLGXXD) who has traveled throughout the East Coast sharing his craft for the past eight years. His dedication to the craft spans musical composition, production, and djing.
In collaboration with Finish Line and Under Armour, KILLGXXD has produced original music for national marketing campaigns. In the past three years he has released six original singles on Spotify & Apple Music. As a musician, Nate draws on his childhood experiences exploring jazz music with his Pops to infuse his contemporary sound with a strong sense of musicianship and collaboration. He is also influenced by Soulection, Stones Throw Records, Darker Than Wax, and Brownswood Recordings. All which helped curate today’s forward-thinking music culture.
As a DJ Nathaniel is well-versed in Hip Hop, Funk, Disco, House, Afro-Beats, Baile Funk, Remixes, and Future Beats. In 2019 Nate joined DC Comics and it’s national Wonder Woman College Run Series as official host and Dj. In 2018 he performed along-side Grammy award winning artists Big Daddy Kane and Naughty by Nature. KILLGXXD currently curates a monthly radio show “Tribe & Vibe Radio” with Pittsburgh-based event production company, Make Sure You Have Fun. He also serves as the Department Head for Post Production which includes mixing and mastering about 10 radio shows per month.
Personally, Nate takes joy in bringing people together and having a good time. You can keep up with Nathaniel and his wife Janelle on their YouTube channel "The Roots! Young+Married vlogs"
