Classical Music/Jazz virtuoso and multiple Grammy Award Winner, Wynton Marsalis once referred to her as the girl with the "The Voice of an Angel".
When Monica Schmidt was selected by the former conductor of the Berliner Philharmonie, Maestro Claudio Abbado (ECHO Award Winner 2005 "Conductor of the Year") and Wynton Marsalis as a soloist for the international cooperative "All Rise" project (The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and Berliner Philharmonie) it was one of the highlights of her career as a classical music artist.
Monica Schmidt, trained in the Bel Canto technique and later seasoned by her work with internationally reknowned Wagnerian Helden Tenor Endrik Wottrich (Professor Würzburg University), traveled Europawide to perform at such prominent venues as the Bregenzer Festspiele, Den Norsk Oper, Raimond Theater and Theater Des Westens.
Most recently, she was a featured artist of "Human Voices" (a conceptual presentation of various music genres from opera to folk, pop, and soul) it was the overwhelmingly well recieved first presentation of the Oscar Prize winning filmmaker Pepe Danquart.
Monica Schmidt, known to the Dance music world as "Mizmoni",
exploded onto this scene with such songs as "keep on swingin"(Jerry Ropero/Clubworxx) and "Higher Love" Dj Cambis (Excited / Peppermint Jam). Both songs landed on the top dance charts and recieved rave reviews from Djs across Europe and Asia. "Keep on Swingin" was later remixed by Dj Flex and appeared on some of the most important internationally released compilations (i.e. Ibiza in Bed with Space, The Annual 2004, Universal ID&T presents DJ Jean´s Madhouse).
Mizmoni held chart position with the likes of: Kelis, Pink, Outkast, Bob Sinclar, Moguai, Tom Novy and Simply Red). Her voice can be heard on recordings alongside: the Sugababes, Moloko, Barbara Tucker, Ultra Naté, Scooter, Junior Jack, Stonebridge and Sophie Ellis-Baxter. Mizmoni´s charismatic stage performance was shared with music greats such as: Afrika Bambaataa, Afrika Islam, Tyree Cooper, Erik Clark and Westbam.
Mizmoni´s latest project is her producing/songwriting cooperation with top House music Dj Alex Botar. They´re known as "DIVA LA DISCO" and offer a new fusion of origional songs and musical elements that can only be called the DLD style. The Combination of Dj Alex Botar and Mizmoni make for a "Divalicious" experience you´ll never forget.
Diva La Disco reloaded is about to set the HOUSE WORLD ON FIRE!
