Singer Monica

Independent Artist

Monica was born in Los Angeles County California, but was raised and educated in Birmingham, Alabama. She began singing around age 5 for family, friends, and later classmates. Her official invitations to sing began in high school talent shows, beauty pageants, and awards days. Writing poems in high school is where the motivation came to become a songwriter and singing in church as a young adult is where the inspiration came from to sing. She embraced her graduating class with songs (among who was the comedian Rickey Smiley) both at her ten and twentieth year class reunion. Monica has opened for gospel recording legend Shirley Caesar, and sang the National Anthem for a semi-professional basket ball team Huntsville Flight, minor league baseball team (opening night) the Huntsville Stars, and most recently for the Atlanta Braves. She is a Registered Nurse and singer/songwriter. In 2000, she was featured on a CD recording with various local singers (cover songs) and also sang background vocals on an independent artist's CD project. Monica currently sings in the Women's choir at her church in Atlanta. For the last two decades, many songs have been written but, not recorded. That all changed after the death of her sister in July 2010, when she vowed to God to not take her lyrics to the grave. Her mission is to respond to that gospel calling by sharing her anointed lyrics. Her songs are available on (link hidden), (link hidden), and (link hidden). She is available to Atlanta and surrounding areas.
