Moniquea is a singer, songwriter, and DJ from Pasadena, California who has been releasing music on MoFunk Records (an LA-based label focused on the sounds of modern-day synth funk) ever since it was established in 2013. She’s been actively singing since the age of 15 and has been touring annually around the world since 2016.

As a youth, she was exposed to countless volumes of 70’s soul, as well as the electrified musical production of the 80’s, and the trunk-rattling thump of west coast 90’s rap, thus shaping her own sound immeasurably. In particular, the synthesized, dance-friendly aesthetics of new wave and funk-laden R&B (later to be categorized as “boogie”) made a lasting impression on her, which she seeks to distill and reinterpret in the music she creates today.
