Nathan Abraham Lauren Fagan-Gayle (born 2 November 1986, South London), known commercially as Nathan and more recently Starboy Nathan, is an English R&B singer, most famous for his Top 40 singles "Come into My Room" and "Diamonds".
Fagan-Gayle is the son of reggae singer Lorna Gee. Fagan-Gayle and his mother moved to Jamaica when he was two years old so that she could pursue her career. As her profile developed she relocated to the United States while Fagan-Gayle remained in Jamaica with his grandmother. At the age of five he joined his mother in New York City where they settled until Fagan-Gayle turned eleven years old.
In 2006, Fagan-Gayle released his debut single "Come into My Room" which charted inside the UK top 40, peaking at number 37. This was his only single for the label V2 Records. His second single "Round and Round", released in January 2007, marked a change in record label and was the first for Mona Records/Vibes Corner Music. On 9 October 2006, he released his debut album Masterpiece, which was led by the third single "Cold as Ice".Masterpiece debuted and peaked at number 122 on the UK albums chart when it was subsequently reissued in 2007. The fourth single from the album, "Do Without My Love" was released prior to this reissue and became the second biggest hit from Masterpiece, peaking at number 44 on the UK Singles Chart.
On 3 January 2008, Fagan-Gayle entered the Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack house. He came sixth in the show.
Since the release of Masterpiece and the promotion for it ending in 2008, Fagan-Gayle has been working on his sophomore effort. His second studio album is due for release in November 2011 and is entitled 3D - Determination, Dedication, Desire. The first single from the album was "Caught Me Slippin" featuring Flo Rida, which was issued on 5 July 2010.
