Nathan Lake Kawaguchi (born February 19, 1997), better known as his stage name Enkay47, is an American rapper and songwriter originally hailing from the small town of Silverton, Oregon. He initially began writing music at the ripe age of 15 in an attempt to make friends and “be cool” after being bullied and alienated by many of his peers the majority of his life. However, as time progressed, he realized how much of an impact music had made on his upbringing and wanted to help other people in the same way. At age 18 he went on his first national tour as a “special guest” for Cryptic Wisdom’s One Take Takeover Tour and self-released his debut album Welcome To My Mind in March 2017. Not having much success, he decided to build his fan base exponentially before the release of his next EP “The Iron Curtain” (self-released March 2018) which peaked at #24 on iTunes in the US (#17 in Canada), #9 on Google Play and hit the iTunes All Times Best Sellers List. During the span of only 6 months, he went from just over 5,000 fans between YouTube and Facebook to over 100,000 thanks to viral videos like Lesson Learned (hitting 6 million views on Facebook) and Twenty 18 (hitting over 2 million views on Facebook). His latest album “My Own Lane” also did exceptionally well, charting at top 30 on both iTunes and Google Play within the first day of release.
