Hiked some, swam some, ate a lot, drank enough, read a book, got engaged to the love of my life, tried to surf, cycled some, summer Christmas is different and Santa was good to me!
“Labyrinth” is finally here! Girl when I tell you this song was my WHITE WHALE! It took me like four years to develop the skills I needed to record and produce this exactly how I heard it in my head (like a late 90s singer-songwriter/lilith fair type vibe). Thank you to Kevin Lang for the assist with the bass and guitar solo, @insta_sagg for mixing and mastering, and especially to @rotunesmusic whose vocal and songwriting contributions inspired me to finally finish this freaking song!!!! Please listen, share, save it to a playlist, whatever. It really helps!
From bedroom beats to 78th Street Studios, Nate Saggio has built a career on listening to music, artists and ideas.
He’s helped Cleveland musicians like @chaylahope craft lush, cinematic pop songs and watched @Jackharris_music 's “Careful What You Wish For” explode to over 36 million streams.
For Saggio, music production isn’t just about mixing levels or gear — it’s about trust and translating an artist’s vision into the perfect song.
Saggio is a writer and performer as well, joining @welshlyarms on stage across Europe and releasing a new song, "Blame," as a solo artist.

“Blame” out now. This is the first of my own releases that I recorded my live band on and collaborated on the parts with. Truly gave it new life. I thought I had more videos of the making of it but alas. Drums - @j.m.conway Bass - @le_viann Everything else, meeeeeeee.
Wrote this one almost 2 years ago. Played it live a bunch, tore it apart and put it back together. Ready for you 08/14/25
