NATE VALLEJO

Nate Vallejo was born in San Antonio, Texas and grew up in the Triangle area of North Carolina. He started writing songs at sixteen and performed regularly with his family band, Shacktown. After attending college in Boone, NC from 2007–2011, he played open mics and small local gigs while developing his sound. In 2013, Nate moved to California and continued traveling across the U.S. performing and writing. A 2014 recording session at a studio in Denver sparked his interest in production. He later returned to North Carolina, formed the band Mr. Darcy in 2015, and released the self-produced EP Love Is. The band toured nationally and released Carolina Skies in 2018. Nate relocated to Nevada City, California in 2019, where he produces music for local artists and works as a sought-after wedding DJ. Playing with bands in the local scene reignited his drive to write and perform, eventually signing a deal with Madcap Records and Madcap Publishing in 2025. He is currently recording his new album, first single is set for release fall 2026.
