2 Mar 2015 7:05 AM

Nate Butler will be visiting South Africa during the first week of March 2015 to record a new single with local artist, Anais.

Nate Butler is the current A&R for The X Factor (US season 3) and America's Got Talent. In addition to this, he is an established songwriter, music producer, vocal producer, and recording artist. He is based in Atlanta, Georgia and he has been actively involved in the producing and writing of over 45 million records, which have been sold worldwide. In March 2015 Nate and his team will be travelling to South Africa in order to record the first track on his new album with South African artist, Anais. The track is titled Dance Like David. 
 
Anais and Nate Butler originally performed Dance Like David at the International Talent Showcase at Monte Casino, which took place on 17 and 18 October 2014.
 
This collaboration is in association with Just You and Be Your Dream. The track will be recorded in March 2015 in South Africa. 
 
Nate will also be offering a workshop on Tuesday, 3 March for Tsogo Sun’s Arts Academy. The Tsogo Sun Arts Academy aims to develop the artistic talents of learners who come from underprivileged backgrounds. The program aims to provide these learners with essential life skills that they can develop and evolve into a sustainable career. The program makes use of the Teatro at Monte Casino and the Gold Reef City Lyric Theatre in order to showcase and develop the talent of these young individuals.
 
Nate’s workshop will form a part of Tsogo Sun’s Corporate Social Investment Programme. Although the workshop is intended for the Arts Academy, it is free and open to anyone who wishes to attend. During the workshop Nate and Anais will share valuable advice on how to succeed in the entertainment industry at an international level. By using their extensive experience as a platform, Nate and Anais will advise young performers on methods and procedures to follow if they wish to embark on the road towards success. The workshop will be held at Silverstar Casino and will start at 3pm with registration upon arrival. 
 
As LifeLine’s National Ambassador, this project and collaboration with Nate is important to Anais. Not only will it merge the South African entertainment industry with that of the states, but it will also provide fellow South African performers with valuable information on how to succeed at an international level, thereby assisting them in achieving their dreams. 
 
On Thursday, 5 March, Nate and Anais will shoot a music video for Dance Like David at Tsogo Sun Silverstar Casino.
