About Me

Stacee Prigmore Monroe

I'm always looking for musicians to vibe and collaborate with....musicians to help me break away from the Classical and into a more Lounge, Jazz, Neo-Soul type thing. I've got poems that aren't quite lyrics, notes that aren't quite melodies, ideas that aren't quite arrangements, and emotions that are waiting to be songs....holla if you're interested.

In the meantime, I'll keep doing private gigs (singing Jazz Standards), musicals and plays, and background vocals on other peoples projects.

But truly, I'm just waiting for that special someone to come along so we can make beautiful music together......is it you?

Stacee Prigmore Monroe

A Classically trained singer, who is discovering her voice through traditional Jazz.

Her voice is a sticky liquid that seeps into your mind...attaches to your soul... submerges your thoughts...adheres to your heart....rushes over your being....fuses to your desires...washes through your core....envelopes your doubt... rips through your fear... soaks your pain... ripples along your essence... tides with your breath... caramelizes your emotions....oozes through your fingers...floods your imagination....moistens your freedom....wets your dreams....drips into your unconscious and just clings. Cause its so sticky.
