I Love Him.

About Me

An old, wood-splintered Hammond organ shoved in the back of a junky garage served as the humble beginnings for Tamona Williams, later to be known as Mona J. She would climb over boxes to tickle the dulled, out-of-tune keys, teaching herself how to play by ear. Coupled with her natural singing ability, those endeavors birthed early songs, such as God is Love, but they lacked much musical and lyrical content. After begging for and receiving a Yamaha keyboard for Christmas, she continued to perfect her craft. She also expanded her musical ability by learning how to play the saxophone and guitar. Still in that same junky garage, Mona J.s elementary melodies evolved into complex rhythms and funky beats. Praying for Gods guidance, she learned the art of production and song writing and was then ready to share the good news with the world. Her music breathes messages of hope, love, happiness and freedom for all people. With down-to-earth messages about the challenges we face in this day, her music combines power-packed lyrics and smooth vocals to touch the hearts of saint and sinner. Her style: a soulful blend of inspirational neo-soul inspired by Jazz, Hip-Hop, R&B and Pop. Her love of music, people, and most importantly, God, drives Mona J.s vision for changing the world.
