Niece to singers of 70’s R&B/funk group New Birth, Sappho’s Journey (Monique-Renee) has the voice of an angel and the soul of a true musician. Despite what one would expect, Monique draws her influences from artists like Depeche Mode, Radiohead, and Bjork.
Having been taught to sing by her mother at a very early age to the tunes of Chaka Khan and Teena Marie, Monique dedicated a year to studying opera and musical theater courses upon finishing high school. After moving to New York in ’04 and making her rounds in the indie rock scene, Monique has decided to venture out with a combination of shining soul, electronica, new/dark wave, and one golden voice!
