Monica Besser, 31, flaunts a voice of singular timbre. This singer circulates among Rio’s musical scene since she was 14. She took part in several musical projects and productions with musicians of repute, and acquired experience through shows, events, radio, tv, theater, studio musical production and direction, soundtrack and score composition. She has traveled, researched and toured the four corners of Brazil, earning a vast musical and rhythmic experience.

Sponsored and supported by Perfeito Fortuna, among the greatest cultural producers in Brazil, the singer released a CD album with original songs, in her own style of MPB (Música Popular Brasileira / Popular Brazilian Music). Produced by Jorge Lima, it presents 11 previously unreleased tracks composed by the artist. Her show is a mixture of several re-readings of great names of classic bossa nova, reggae, pop-country-rock, blues, soul and drum'n'bass …
The title track of the album, "VEM PRA FICAR", was used in Brazil as the theme to the Rede Globo’s TV soap opera "Beleza Pura" in 2008, which was also aired in Portugal, Mozambique and Angola.
