Nate is an alt-folk/country artist based in Newcastle, NSW. Since first emerging in 2020 under the moniker Lo Monaco, he’s built a reputation for raw, emotive songwriting and powerful live performances. His music blends heartfelt lyricism with melodic storytelling, drawing inspiration from artists like Dermot Kennedy, Bon Iver, and City and Colour.

In 2023, Nate took his sound to the U.S., headlining grassroots shows and supporting The Talbot Brothers on tour—experiences that shaped his voice and artistic direction. Now releasing under his own name, Nate steps confidently into a new chapter with a refined sound and a renewed sense of purpose.

Driven by authenticity and connection, Nate continues to craft songs that hit where it hurts and heal where they’re needed.
