Nat Wolff: From Child Star to Music & Film Maverick
Nathaniel Marvin “Nat” Wolff (b. December 17, 1994, Los Angeles) has carved a vibrant path in entertainment as an actor, musician, and singer-songwriter. Born into a creative family—mother Polly Draper (actress/writer/director) and father Michael Wolff (jazz pianist/producer)—his early immersion in the arts set the stage for a lifelong journey in performance.
🎤 Early Life & Musical Roots
Nat grew up in a culturally Jewish household—his father Jewish, mother Christian—imbued with artistry and musical passion. He began writing songs at age five and learned piano and guitar from his dad. Early roles in off-Broadway plays by his mother in Manhattan further refined his stage presence.
📺 Rise to Fame: The Naked Brothers Band
At just 9 years old, Nat co-created The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie, performing all music and vocals. The film’s success led to a Nickelodeon series (2007–2009), which skyrocketed Nat and brother Alex into teen fame. The band’s songs reached Billboard charts, and Nat became a household name among young fans.
