He was also featured in P!nk's song "Just Give Me a Reason." In 1986, his family moved to a farm in Glendale, Arizona, due to repeated bouts of pneumonia Ruess faced as a child.

The band broke up and Ruess started the band fun. with Andrew Dost and Jack Antonoff. The band now has two albums "Aim and Ignite" and "Some Nights." and in addition, an album that iTunes helped make called "Fun.- iTunes session" which consists of acoustic versions of some of their songs. Ruess has a voice that has been compared to Queen's Freddy Mercury. Nate is known to be quirky, energetic, and easily distracted in his concerts.
