Melanin ‘Black’ Monroe Bio Fusing Southern R&B with Soul and West Coast Trap, Melanin ‘Black’ Monroe has redefined the musical landscape for women afraid to speak up and speak out. Emerging onto the scene from Phoenix Arizona in 2020, she is an independent artist influenced by legends such as Mary J. Blige and Kevin Gates. ‘Black’ Monroe is the voice for a new generation of women and combines earthy, urban truths with melodious harmonies weaving effortlessly throughout her music. Seductively beckoning her audience to become part of her world, her lyrics are capable of selling a different story from the trappings of bling and swagger that we have been accustomed to. That’s because ‘Black’ Monroe believes standing out is not enough. Standing up for her people is a vital part of who she is. That message is clear in her songs ‘2020’ and ‘Pray’ which speak to the moral outrage of the brutality inflicted upon the Afro-American community. From the depths of poverty, she is also determined to celebrate her sexuality with style and panache, underpinned with the best beats and the sickest flow. “Making music means I get to live a dream I couldn't once afford. Now I get to set an example that no matter where you started, that is not where you have to end up.” As we emerge to a new dawn of musical possibilities, Melanin ‘Black’ Monroe is the right artist for today’s world. Strong, powerful and ‘woke’ to the challenges that lie ahead, she is the future of music.
