Monique

Monique Brooks Roberts is a violinist hailing from Louisville, KY and now residing in Denver, CO.  Influenced by a plethora of 90’s RnB artists, her music oozes soul. Her playing is often described as sexy, emotional and provocative - and there’s little surprise why. With over 27 years of experience under her belt, the violin has become an extension of herself; a visceral medium through which she is able to express the emotions which words cannot. Monique has had a busy and fulfilling career, having performed and recorded for many notable artists including Alicia Keys, Common, Jill Scott, Rajdulari, Mos Def, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, J. Cole, Mumu Fresh, Shawn Mendes, Lizzo, and many more.  She has also featured on live television on multiple occasions, appearing on VH1 Storytellers, MTV VMA’s, CBS Late Show With David Letterman, the Stephen Colbert Show, BET Bobby Jones Gospel Show and the BET Honors.  Monique recently released her first solo album “Free” in 2020! You can find it on every music platform!

While music is Monique’s first love, she is passionate about many other things!  She enjoys spending time with her husband Aaron and two children, Lyla and Miles!  In her spare time, you can find her chillin’ on the beach in Jamaica with a rum punch in hand, hangin’ with her girls at our favorite brunch spot, binge-watching episodes of her favorite shows on Netflix, or curled up with a good book.  Monique’s mission is not only to spread love and peace through music but to help others achieve true freedom in their lives!
