In 2018, she set up DOPE Recording, an in-house song factory. "At the end of the day, there are two places my music has always flourished professionally - hip hop and club music. I went back to work writing & singing for rappers and DJs," she asserts. Her songwriting pen has blessed a who's who of house music, including Sebb Junior (Spain), Cee El Assad (Morocco), BOS (Sweden) & Alex Millet (Italy). The film Here's My Heart featured Montreea's testimony that same year. In 2019, Montreea celebrated releases on SubUrban Records (Europe), Soulful Legends (US), Check It Out Records (Europe) & House 4 Life Records (US). By 2020, the pandemic hit. Montreea's buzz as a writer was simmering, and life changed again. "My mom decided to stop breast cancer treatments in 2021," says Montreea. "I used my money from studio sessions to pay off my studio. I closed up shop and spent as much time as I could with her before she passed." After taking time off, she returned in 2022 with a new DJ Alex Ander collaboration that dropped on Quantize Recordings (US). A pop collaboration with Norwegian superproducer TRXD is complete and a DJ Banx (US) remix dropped in July of 2022. Now producing under the moniker Girl on the Beat, Montreea has retired from performing and is shifting from singing back to producing. She jokes, "I'm back where I started - beats & DJs. It's all about the music and showing love. It's a new season. I'm just blessed to still be able to share."
