Early life
Haller grew up on a farmhouse in Waterloo, Ontario with both of his siblings taking an interest in music, but he stated that he initially only played his brother's guitar on occasion.{{cite web|url=https://www.socanmagazine.ca/features/rising-country-star-nate-haller-finds-his-vibe/|title=RISING COUNTRY STAR NATE HALLER FINDS HIS VIBE|first=David|last=McPherson|date=September 1, 2022|access-date=September 19, 2022|work=Words and Music|publisher=SOCAN Magazine}} He then was inspired to pursue music himself after seeing Australian singer-songwriter Xavier Rudd perform live while he was in high school.
