Original Vocal Jazz, for the head and heart.
Philosophical, sophisticated, and soulful jazz with a hopeful afterglow.
Monika Ryan is not just another singer, she is an architect of sound and story, carving out a niche in the world of jazz with her unique blend of classic and contemporary sound matched by philosophical and clever lyrics. Her music, potent and melodic, reflects the energy of her native New York City, and her smooth, velvety voice brings to life a spectrum of emotions, manifesting in everything from heartfelt ballads to effervescent swing and searing bebop tunes. Monika is also a visual artist. Monika's creative aim is to counterbalance the coarseness that exists in the world and to soothe and support listeners in living fully and in a way that is engaged and authentic.
