Nate Sterling, the creative force behind MonoDeaf, an Ohio-based electronic music producer with a story as powerful as his sound. At just six years old, a car accident left Nate with permanent hearing loss in his right ear, but he refused to let adversity define him. Growing up in a musical family, he turned challenges into motivation, teaching himself music production and shaping a bold, genre-blurring style that fuses dubstep, future bass, trap, and R&B soul.Nate's journey led him to study music technology in college, where he refined his skills and vision. He’s released tracks through labels like Free Music Wave, Future Bass Records and launched his own record label, BLCK CLD COLLECTIVE, a hub for rising talents and established artists in the heavy electronic music scene.MonoDeaf isn’t just a name, it’s a testament to resilience, passion, and the unstoppable pursuit of artistic dreams against the odds of nature. With future music on the horizon, MonoDeaf is undoubtedly an artist to watch — and hear first.

The mark

My logo forms the letter “M”, but its meaning runs much deeper than typography. The two vertical shapes represent audio’s left and right channels, a nod to the world I create in as a producer.The right side is intentionally fractured and broken apart — a visual metaphor for my real-life hearing impairment. It symbolizes how I experience sound differently, and how that challenge has shaped my identity, creativity, and approach to music.What started as a simple, clean mark evolved into something more personal — a reminder that limitations can become part of your art, not obstacles to it.
