NateWantsToBattle

On October 18, 2026, at La Machine du Moulin Rouge in Paris, NateWantsToBattle arrives with his blend of pop-punk and alternative rock shaped by video game and anime culture. Behind the moniker is Nathan Sharp, a Korean-American singer, songwriter and voice actor who transitioned from online covers to original releases. He’s responsible for official songs for Dragon Ball Super, Beyblade Burst Turbo, Sonic the Hedgehog and Pokémon, and for voice roles in Dream Daddy, Attack on Titan and Monster Prom. On stage, bold guitar work, catchy choruses and a strong sense of storytelling link his nerdcore roots to his albums Sands of Time, Paid in Exposure and To Let Go.

Also on the bill is Cam Steady, a nerdcore rapper from Los Angeles who fuses hip-hop, EDM and metal influences. Backed by viral tracks like MEWTWO, CHAOS CONTROL and SPIDER-PHONK and partnerships with gaming brands, he delivers a tight, electronic live energy tuned for anime-rap fans. Together, they unite guitar-driven rock and video game–inspired rap for a set that speaks as much to gamers as to fans of melodic riffs.
