Inside Bassist Nathan East's California Castle 

Imagine being this good at your art and being this humble. That's something to aspire to, not just the money.

You just have to love Nathan - he deserves everything and more.

Is he ever not smiling? what a cool guy.

I'm not in any way a religious person, but this right here is what you would call a blessed life.

It would be easy to feel a bit envious of such a luxury home - but do you know what? - Nathan is such a top bloke, amazing bassist and seems an all round nice guy. So all power to him

I met this althele person at the Manchester downtown Hilton in the Gym locker room. He put his pound and the locker would not give him the key. I offer him my pound since I was leaving. He asked me why I was in my Manchester. I told him I was and IT manager and I asked him what he did and he said that he was playing base in a band. I asked him was he playing for the wedding that day at the Hilton. He said No I am playing for Herbie Hancock. My next words were that I saw Eric Clapton 1993 and he had this Great base player by the name Of Nathan East and he sang the Steve Winwood song (Find My way home) better than the original. His next words were I am Nathan East and I did not realize I was that Famous. He asked Me if I would like to come to the show that evening and i am like sure. When I got the ticket from the box office counter there were backstage pass and center 7 row seats. Herbie and Nathan played for about three hours it seems. One of the great shows I have ever seen besides Eric Clapton with Nathan East. This a true story.

He's brought a lot of happiness to people through music, so I'm pleased he has a nice sanctuary to relax and gain inspiration.

An incredible musician, gentleman and family man who has always been humble and grateful. 100% class act.

Who doesn't love Nathan? What a soul to open his house for us to see how he lives. Long life Nathan.

nice to see a world class musician doing good

Nathan is like the go-to bassist of the icons of music. We probably even listen to music that we have no idea that he's the one playing the bass. And he deserves every accolade he ever had.

Beautiful Man, beautiful home, beautiful family and beautiful music. Can't get any better

One of my favorite "blessed" people. He is appreciative and grateful for what he has. He is confident, but not arrogant. I would love to be a friend of his.

First time I noticed Nathan East was in the early 80s. He played on Hubert Law's album and it featured one of his songs. I can still hear the opening riffs of that wonderful bass solo. After that, he did the bass column for Guitar Player magazine. Although he had much hair back then, he doesn't look that much different today.

I sense such a humble and genuine spirit from him. Have loved his music over the years.

it's like Satriani: respect and cool attitude that's the pro, the masters are humble and nice

Hard Work has certainly paid off!!!

I'm so glad to see that he is very successful. Too many rappers and hip-hop artist make a lot of money but these really quality, talented musicians are the ones that really deserve this kind of lifestyle

God bless you, Nathan! So nice seeing good, real musicians getting what they deserve!

This guy is such an inspiration. Down to earth, humble, yet supremely talented, erudite and contributed so much to music over the years. This is the kind of person this planet needs more of.

That infectious smile! He shows up everywhere, plays awesomely, and makes you smile just watching him! He of course plays with my favorite piano-player, Bob James.

I feel like bass is the glue in the band that binds rhythm and chord progression together. And many times bass is the one that gives the groove to the song along with vocals

He’s such an awesome guy! Sooo down to earth and friendly. I met him at the Fry’s Electronics store in Burbank. I was the cashier that rung him up.. I recognized him and asked him if he was the bassist of Joe Satriani on one album I knew of..”. He was surprised I knew him from that album. He had a huge smile and said “ yes I am “. We chatted alil more ..very humble guy...Great guy, great musician! 👍

Very inspiring bass player and man too.

WHY IS IT, THE BASS PLAYER IS ALWAYS THE COOLEST DUDE IN THE BAND???

The man comes across as down to earth good guy....he has played with some of the greats and built up love and respect from all...a man who deserves what he has ...carry on my friend

You deserve all what you've worked hard for Mr East may you have many more years of success my Bass Brother. .........

There is a musician who knows how great he has it and continues to earn what he has. Can see it in his smile. Instead of becoming a prominent unique voice in bass he helped lay the bedrock for so many and was rewarded for it. Love watching him and Pino play.

Nathan is an outstanding musician and I'm so glad he could share the love of music with his son.

he's never overplayed and that is the best thing about his bass playing... i'm a big fan of Fourplay

First time I saw him was with Phil Collins in Barcelona back in 1997. I attended with my sister and made it to the front row with a sign that said "NATHAN YOU'RE #1". I can still see him smiling at me.

So very nice to see Nathan managing his well-deserved earnings. There are people in the entertainment business, who can't tie Nathan's shoes when it comes to talent, that has been very lucky to have earned 20 times more money than Nathan. The people in question have gone broke from mismanagement. MC Hammer, Mike Tyson, Melba Moore, etc.

Your son will remember these days long after you are not around..(playing piano with dad) . such a great video ... thanks for putting this together...

It's a blessing when you can play music with your son!

He is the dream of every session musician, great playing, fabulous family and an amazing life! Way to go Nathan!

What a beautiful smile 24/7 !!!!! Reflects soul of a human being !!!!!

Not only is Nathan one of the most respected, gifted, recorded, and liked bassists on the planet but he's also one of the coolest, humblest, and funniest people who is a joy to be around! Every session and concert stage he's on is better because he's there.

What a joy it would be to play with Nathan on bass and Steve Gadd on drums!

Cool to hear him call his basses "guitars" unlike those dorks who don't think the bass guitar is a guitar.

A complete set of happiness. Grateful is the right word

That beautiful home just tells me what a brilliant and accomplished musician Nathan East is! One ofThe Greatest if not the Greatest ever!

Played with so many of the greats. Loved watching him play with his son.

this man can play wherever he wants and all kinds of music!the complete bass player!he deserves the best,top ten bass players ever.

It’s great to see people appreciate and enjoy their success. He seems like a great guy 🙂

Gorgeous home. So glad for all of Nathan's successes. He is such an incredibly talented bassist, we've all heard him on so many recordings and tours, and yet he seems like such a humble and down-to-earth guy and has such a refreshing sense of gratitude. Major props to this very talented gentleman.

Nothing is as important as his fatherhood... having a great time with his son... a nice guy,.who knows how to remain uplifting even when he is rich... everything he is proud of is about those he loves... beautiful spirit.

I've been a professional bass player and road dog studio player for 35 years. It's nice to see a guy like Nathan East get some creds. He's a great musician and influence on a lot of young bass players. Who has Nathan NOT played with??? Cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina!

One of my favorite musicians of all time. A true class act in every respect.

Nathan, you are a class act, a role model for all of us regardless of age, and one fantastic musician. Thank you for all you’ve given the world!

Best bass player.....love & respect from Vietnam.

He is like sunshine. Just good vibes warm and great smile. His bass playing is other worldly!

Nathan is living the Musician dream

Even with the great house and success, it’s the positivity that shines through. How can you not want to work with this man?

Wake up every mornin being grateful for what you have and Living what you doin. The key to his success. A brilliant musician and a very humble person. Not to mention the beautiful mansion. The best to you Mr. East.

This guy seems so genuine and nice. Beautiful home, Mr. Nathan East!

Such a humble brother and bad-ass musician. Mad props and much love to you and your family Bruh Nathan!

Love the smile, Man! Thanks for the tour...

U have helped ROCK THE WORLD w your bass & such a happy personality to go with it :) thanks Nathan 4 inviting us into your home. I really enjoyed the tour !

You can tell he truly loves being a musician. And the rewards have been great for him.

he seems a very kind person... he seems very professional... he seems like a very respectful and respectable person... and thats why he is blessed with a good life...he is also blessed with youthful looks and talent! Good for him!

I met him after a Four Play concert in Avery Fisher Hall in NYC . Nice guy , great musician and very gracious speaking to fans after the show . Very versatile playing many different types of music .

Oh man! I dig the father/son jam. I'm blessed to play in a cover band with my son on drums. Love it! Funny story--last year we played a 4th of July gig. At the end of the night we were tearing down and I overheard a group of youngins in their 20s talking and complementing the band. At one point after a pause ... one kid said, "Even that old guy playing keyboards and guitar was kicking a**!". I'll take it! LOL.

Probably the coolest guy on planet earth. Watched him play with Eric Clapton on " change the world & Bell bottom blues" with the late Billy Preston on keyboards, dude is a living legend.

He is truly blessed

Nathan East is the personification of class in the music industry

Nathan is such a great person. So cool and relaxed and a great talent. And i like that he is so thankful for what he has achieved. Simply a great artist. Best regards, Thomas, Copenhagen.

Wow! So humble and very nice. This is how acclaimed musicians should be!

The man is awe inspiring. Nathan, Norman, Wayman, these are the kinda brothers you want to emulate. They just make the world seem alright.

Man Nate ,you got it going on.A beautiful home,A gorgeous family,and an unbelievable wonderful career.What more does a man want?.Congratulations bro,you've earned every fruit of your labor of love,so savor every morsel of it! Peace.

Nathan East is a guy more people should know about. He's amazingly talented and just an all-around good guy.

Thank you so much for your dedication and forever joy. Love your house. My tastes all the way. God bless you.

Wow! Such a delightful and talented guy!!!

Isn't it strange that there are millions and millions of highly talented musicians in the world. And yet only maybe .001% of them get to make over a million.

Nathan you're an inspiration to the rest of the world. Really dig your bass playing.

Love this talented, artistic great baas player Nathan East hope to get to see him play one day✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Wow, that was AWESOME, so cool for Nathan to share something so private. Cheers!

It's great to see a (need I say) 'back up musician' being successful to award himself and his family a beautiful home. Good for you, Nathan East.

What a humble man! God bless him.

What a wonderful down to earth man. Love your music Nathan ❤

Your work with the Master Mr Collins, is nothing more than outstanding

WOW...this man creates such a strong feeling of respect and true art. To me...true art is something I look at or hear and I just want to be humble, quiet...almost humanly reverant for the accomplishment. True Art...makes me want to act better and and ask myself..."what can I give...to be a blessing...?"

Such a humble dude. What a legend.

Such a talent! Love to hear him play. Whether it is with Four Play, Eric Clapton or Toto, he plays with passion.

Such genuinely humble man!

One of the best to ever do it. Well deserved and inspiring.

Its an absolute blessing to do what you love for a living.

Because of his hard work and perseverance he's earned it and it is very well deserved!

One of the most respected musicians. ❤

Glad to see you spend time playing music and talk with your son,,, thats great. Your a lucky man...............

I saw Noah's first public performance with his father in Atlanta.
