From Mozart to Mainstream, eclectic is the way to describe Blaire. From early on this musical retro child has been singing and writing since before she could remember. As a child classical training in the arts helped her to develop skill and a true love for music and its influence. As time passed hip-hop became the love of her life and her many musical influences collided to make a truly unique MC/ Singer/ Songwriter. Working with Motown greats form Marcus Belgrave, Sylvia Moy, and Ortheia Barnes to modern day movers and shakers Carl Craig and PAJAM this woman is poised for versatility and greatness. In addition to choreographing, styling, and staging for various artists, her writing credits include Ramiyah, The J Moss project, Vanessa Williams, and numerous R&B up and comers. Firmly rooted in the sound of early soul music and inspired by an unconventional sense of rhythm and melodies, Monica Blaire is more than an artist. She is an experience. Her debut CD, Portraits of Me was produced by Silent Riot, one of the most prolific production teams in Detroit. She has opened, recorded and/or performed onstage with a literal who’s who of soul and hip hop, from Dwele, Erykah Badu, Platinum Pied Pipers and Amel Larrieux to Roy Ayers, Bizarre and more. Keep your eyes and ears open!!!
