Nathan Pacheco is a featured soloist with Yanni Voices. He is a trained operatic tenor voice who sings with power, sensitivity, passion, romance, and fire. Yanni claims that Nathan connects with popular music through his musical and emotional connections. Nathan is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who was born in Washington, D.C., U.S.A., but who has Brazilian roots. Nathan claims that the spirit of Brazil is in his voice and vocal renditions. Pacheco, a returned LDS missionary and 2005 BYU graduate in vocal performance, is one of four "Voices" on Yanni's current tour, introducing vocals to what has up to this point been strictly instrumental music.
While preparing to attend the Manhattan School of Music, Pacheco said he heard a speaker at BYU challenge his audience to chase their dreams. Pacheco called the school and told them he had decided not to come and instead went to Los Angeles to pursue a performance career. There he met Ric Wake, who introduced him to Yanni (Mormon Times).
Currently, Nathan eats, drinks, and sleeps music while living at the Yanni-Wake Entertainment compound in West Palm Beach, Florida. Nathan writes his own music, and he has added lyrics and more music to some of Yanni's best-known instrumentals.
