Vancouver, WA-based independent recording artist Nathan Oswalt concludes his career-kickstarting trilogy of stand-alone singles with the song that started it all, "WHO KNOWS". Originally written in 2019, just before Oswalt's high school graduation, the track is finally slated for global release on April 19, 2024.

The song finds the 23-year-old singer, songwriter, and producer delivering a bold statement of faith and optimism for a brighter future, regardless of one’s present circumstances. Musically, Oswalt steps outside of his sonic comfort zone, opting for a more organic, contemporary-flavored soundscape reminiscent of Andy Grammer and Ben Rector over his usual style of R&B-flavored, ‘80s-inspired pop in the vein of Troye Sivan and Bleachers.

In addition to being the sole lyricist on “WHO KNOWS” and composing the music with Steve Hotra & Jonathan Campean (the latter of whom collaborated with Oswalt on his sophomore single, “STILL GOOD”), Oswalt produced the track alongside Campean and Ian Manubens (who co-produced and co-wrote Oswalt’s debut single, “OUTRUN”).

Says Oswalt, "A lot has happened in the last six years, including a global pandemic, and - on a more personal note - I’ve actually attempted suicide twice due to extreme depression and anxiety, which the LORD has since delivered me from. ‘WHO KNOWS’ has taken on a whole new meaning in my life as a result. It’s a song about choosing to trust God with your future rather than give in to anxiety and doubt, even though you don’t know what the next year or even the next day is going to bring.”

Last year, Oswalt’s two inaugural studio singles, “OUTRUN” and “STILL GOOD”, garnered over 2,500 streams by over 1,200 listeners from 72 different countries on Spotify alone. In addition, Oswalt’s music was featured on Jesusfreakhideout.com’s “Songs We’ve Been Trying To Tell You About (And Others We Haven’t) Volume 12” compilation project. With "WHO KNOWS", Oswalt returns to the contemporary singer-songwriter roots of his past, while simultaneously looking forward to a bright, Christ-centered future ahead.

Following the release of "WHO KNOWS”, Oswalt plans to continue honing his skills as a music producer and engineer, with the ultimate goal of independently releasing his first-ever, full-length studio album as a solo artist. Oswalt also intends to branch out into helping other artists and groups with their respective musical projects as a songwriter and producer.
