Nate Mercereau: I'm between experimental jazz and high-level pop

"I occupy a space which is straight-up between experimental jazz music and these high-level pop sessions" - rising multi-instrumental virtuoso, songwriter and producer Nate Mercereau tells in a PopMatters interview about his debut album 'Joy Techniques', out now. He has played electric guitar for Lizzo, co-wrote with Shawn Mendes, worked with Sheila E. and Jay-Z, and on his debut, Mercereau "creates an immediately colorful and vibrant musical landscape, shaping every corner with lush, natural-feeling synthesized guitar tones".
