Influences: Born in the 60'ies as the black sheep of the family, Monica always found her own paths in life. After years and years of singing in almost any genre and situation you could possibly imagine, she stumbled across a talented songwriter, Brian Hobbs from North Carolina.Monica had been a lead singer in big bands, cover groups, gospel choirs as well as playing major parts in numerous big musicals in Stockholm. She had done backing vocals for Celine Dion and Michael Bolton, as well as most of Sweden's major performers. Naturally, a lot of singing was also done in studios doing backups in recording sessions or demoing newly written songs for other stars. Even a bit of classical music was squeezed in, as Monica did Carmen with national theatre company, Riksteatern.As for the Eurovision Song Contest, Monica has participated 3 times in the Swedish competition, first as part of a group, then on her own, and then as part of a duo.But it wasn't until she met the talented Mr. Hobbs that she found out how much she felt at home in country music. And the rest is history.
