Timeline
Nathaniel Anthony Ayers, Jr. (born January 31, 1951) is an American musician.
After his mother's death in 2000, he moved to Los Angeles, thinking that his father lived there.
Homeless and debilitated with symptoms of schizophrenia, Ayers lived and played music on the streets.
Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez met Ayers at Pershing Square in 2005, and discovered his background at Juilliard.
Lopez wrote several columns about his relationship with Ayers, and Nathaniel's slow transition out of homelessness.
Lopez's subsequent book, The Soloist: A Lost Dream, an Unlikely Friendship, and the Redemptive Power of Music, was based on his relationship with Ayers.
A foundation bearing his name was started in 2008 with an aim to support artistically gifted people with mental illness.
Ayers began playing the double bass during middle school.
He attended the Juilliard School in New York as a double bassist, but had a mental breakdown during his second year and was institutionalized.
Ayers was one of the few black students at Juilliard at that time.
For some years he lived with his mother in Cleveland, Ohio, where he received electroconvulsive therapy for his illness to no avail.
The foundation, launched in 2008, began with Jennifer's desire to help what she and Nathaniel hope will be thousands of people.
An endowment will be set up to continue their ability to keep the public awareness about mental health at the forefront of the nation's consciousness.
The NAAF will facilitate the appreciation of the contributions that artistic expression make to the advancement of wellness and treatment, collaborate with mental health and arts organizations to identify and exhibit the work of the artistically gifted, and to provide for grants to worthy nonprofit organizations that embody the mission of the foundation.
He is the subject of numerous newspaper columns, a book, and a 2009 film adaptation based on the columns.
The book has been adapted into a film and a play titled The Soloist, released April 24, 2009, with Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr. in the lead roles.
In the film, Ayers is depicted as a cellist, rather than a bassist.
Ayers and Lopez's relationship was also nationally highlighted in the March 22, 2009, episode of 60 Minutes on CBS.
Ayers's sister, Jennifer Ayers-Moore, is the chairwoman and founder of the Nathaniel Anthony Ayers Foundation.
