Monica is a true Scandinavian, originally from the Norwegian country side, but she has lost half of heart to London, where she is now based.
From an early age, she was accepted at many talent programmes in Norway as both a singer and a pianist, among them at The Norwegian Academy of Music, and in 2011 she competed for Norway and took home four medals from The World Championship for Performing Arts in Los Angeles. After graduating from The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts with a strong First Class BA(Hons) in Music Performing Arts as a singer, she has worked in many areas of the business and proofen herself as a very versatile performer, told to be the little girl with the big voice and the girl with the voice of an angel. As a solo singer and vocalist/pianist she has a large repertoire of songs, everything from classical crossover to dance charts, and can cater to any event or concert - though her passion is musical theatre and the old American Songbook.
Monica has years of experience performing at both corporate and private events, both in The UK and abroad, and has also been a resident vocalist/pianist at the prestigous Dorchester Hotel in London, and currently on the 6 star cruise ship Seabourn Soujourn, as well as being a regular lead vocalist performing her own shows for Brittany Ferries and numerous solo cabarets in Norway. In recent years, her career has taken her to almost 40 different countries, also catering for Monica’s love for travelling.
Monica is also a musical theatre composer with many musicals under her belt, the latest currently planning a UK National Tour, and she runs her own Norway-based production company M Crown Entertainment alongside her performing and composition career, as well as co-owning a new Norwegian musical theatre academy for exceptional young talent.
