Madeleine Slate is a Toronto born, Nashville based singer/songwriter who is hard of hearing with a 60% hearing loss in both ears. Per Madeleine, when it came time to finish making my record this past Oct, I thought..."Am I only going to have a CD release party that only half of my friends are going to have fun at?" Never. So that's how this idea came about. My dream is to show the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community what I love about music, and to show the music community and other music fans what I love about ASL and the Deaf culture. Both communities that I feel so lucky to be a part of.
