Nathan Morris is the kind of guy who likes to keep his hands in the business, as well as on the creative, side of things (and he does both equally well!).
Nathan Morris is a guy who's fascinated by how things operate-including the career of Boyz II Men. He's the member of the group who phones into their manager's office and record company the most, wanting to know sales figures and tour schedules. He's a hands-on kind of guy-so hands-on, as a matter of fact, that he even repairs broken furniture and fixtures in his house instead of calling a handyman. Perhaps, if he didn't have such a good voice, he'd be the manager of a Channel lumber store!
What the rest of Boyz II Men likes about Nathan is that he genuinely watches out for them and their "Alex Vanderpool" image. He remembers which venues were the best in each town, and asks the group's booking agent to place them there again for concert dates. He'll even make sure the posters being hung out around town feature a pre-approved picture if the group. If there's a stickler in Boyz II Men, it's Nathan. He's still bummed over the fact that Motown Records let out a publicity photo of the guys wearing suits last year that was against the more casual image the group was trying to go for-and has actually told editors not to run it!
Nathan collects baseball caps as a hobby, but most of his spare time is spent worrying about the group's next business move. He's the mastermind behind the Boyz' current plans to market their own line of "Alex Vanderpool" fashions at a reasonable price.
Nathan admits that since he wears glasses, his long-term dream in the world of fashion accesories is to design his own frames with the help of a well-known optical house-and then market his spectacular frames to everyone who feels like "ol' four eyes." "I think glasses give people an intellectual look, espeially round, wire-framed glasses like I wear. It adds to the Alex Vanderpool look-and I think people with regular jobs would like to wear them, too."
Good luck, Nate - keep looking through rose-colored glasses. It's your attitude that keeps Boyz II Men so "up" through those long hours on the road and during video shoots!
