Early Life & Education

Nathan John Feuerstein, known professionally as NF, was born on March 30, 1991, in Gladwin, Michigan, to parents Timothy J. Feuerstein and Jennifer M. Warner.

Of Caucasian ethnicity and raised in a devout Christian household, NF‘s childhood was marked by significant trauma.

His parents divorced when he was around three years old, leading him and his two younger sisters to live with their mother, who struggled with opioid addiction.

The situation worsened when one of his mother’s boyfriends physically abused NF and one of his sisters, prompting his father to intervene and raise the three siblings thereafter.

Tragically, his mother died from an opioid overdose in 2009, the same year NF graduated from Gladwin High School, where he had been active on the basketball team.

During his turbulent upbringing, hip-hop became an emotional outlet for NF; he began recording rudimentary tracks on a karaoke machine as a child and honed his skills through church-organized events, such as the Fine Arts Festival at Connection Church in Canton, Michigan, where he placed highly in rap competitions by 2008–2009.

These early experiences laid the foundation for his introspective style, blending faith, personal struggles, and technical lyricism.

Career

Nathan John Feuerstein, known as NF, launched his professional music career in 2010 with the independent release of his debut album, Moments, under his real name, on November 29, 2010, via Xist Music.

After parting with Xist, he self-released a self-titled EP in 2014, which caught the attention of Capitol Christian Music Group (Capitol CMG). His breakthrough came with the 2015 album Mansion, featuring cinematic production and deeply personal tracks like “Intro” and “Notepad.”

The project debuted at No. 62 on the Billboard 200 and established his signature blend of orchestral beats, rapid-fire flows, and raw emotional lyricism. In 2016, NF released Therapy Session, which peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard 200 and earned critical praise for its unfiltered exploration of trauma, mental health, and faith.

The album included standout tracks like “I Just Wanna Know” and “How Could You Leave Us,” the latter addressing his mother’s overdose. His 2017 collaborative album Perception with producers Tommee Profitt and David Garcia marked his mainstream explosion.

Led by the platinum single “Let You Down,” which peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has over 2 billion Spotify streams, Perception debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making NF the first Christian hip-hop artist to top the chart since 1997. The album was certified platinum and spawned hits like “Outcast” and “Lie.”

In 2019, NF released The Search, another No. 1 Billboard 200 debut. The title track and “Time” became fan favorites, with the album earning triple platinum certification. Its accompanying world tour sold out arenas across North America and Europe.

After a four-year hiatus, NF returned in 2023 with HOPE, his fifth studio album and third consecutive No. 1 debut. Featuring the hit “HAPPY” and a duet with Cordae on “CAREFUL,” the album showcased a more mature sound while retaining his introspective core.

The HOPE Tour became one of the highest-grossing rap tours of 2023–2024. Known for avoiding profanity and explicit content, NF has built a massive following—over 40 million monthly Spotify listeners as of 2025—through authenticity and technical skill.

Often compared to Eminem for his delivery and wordplay, he has earned RIAA certifications for multiple platinum and gold records and headlined sold-out global tours, solidifying his status as a leading voice in faith-based, emotionally driven hip-hop.
