His father, Nat Adderley, was a composer and jazz cornet and trumpet player, while his uncle, Cannonball Adderley, was a jazz alto saxophonist.

Nat Adderley Jr. was born in Quincy, Florida, on May 23, 1955, and grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey. He started playing piano as a child and had his first song, “I’m on My Way,” recorded by his uncle Cannonball when he was just 11 years old.
