About:
Monica Young is a Los Angeles-based singer, award-winning songwriter, producer, and actress with a passion for crafting soulful pop songs filled with heartfelt melodies and compelling lyrics.
This Korean-American artist was born in Germany and grew up mainly in Kansas. She was raised by a single, badass mother before moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. Since moving to LA, she has acted in many tv shows (Modern Family, Community, Two and a Half Men, etc), films, and commercials, and has sung backup vocals on projects that included Celine Dion, John Legend, and more. Her song “Just Be”, written for the feature film “Along Came Wanda” won multiple awards at film festivals around the world. During the pandemic, she picked up songwriting again after a hiatus and dove into learning how to produce music. In 2023, she started releasing music she wrote, sang, and produced by herself. She has now collaborated with several artists and will be releasing more in 2024!
Fun fact: Quincy Jones told her she sings and dances like she's from the ghetto.
