Nathan Haines

Saxophone player, born in Auckland, New Zealand on 18 January 1972.
Part of a renowned jazz family (his father is bassist Kevin Haines and his brother is guitarist Joel Haines), Nathan started his music career in his late teens and early twenties, with Jazz Committee and Freebass (8), before forming his own band, which eventually became The Enforcers (2).
Signing to Huh Records, his debut solo album 9383 (1995) is the biggest selling New Zealand-recorded jazz album of all time, released globally on Verve Records.
In 1995, Haines went to NYC and then to London, where he worked as a live musician and session player, including performing alongside DJ Paul "Trouble" Anderson at his Loft residency.
He also began DJing, along with recording drum'n'bass for the Metalheadz label, before signing to Chillifunk Records where he made two albums with producer Phoojun; his first release with Phil was 3269617.
Nathan returned to New Zealand in the early 2000s.
