Shardell Monique
24 years old. I've been performing since I was 11 and I love it. I can't live life without it. I love to write as well as dance, act, model, photography, and just relaxing when I get a chance. Thanks to all of my family, and fans who support me! XoXo, S. M.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Born in 1987, I started performing cover songs in kindergarten. By the age of 11 I was performing and competing at local events and talent shows. At the age of 15 I started writing my own lyrics & at 17 I finally started recording. I've grown to love many different genres of music and I hope it shows in my music.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I perform all over the state of West Virginia, & parts of Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, & New Mexico. I've opened for several well known country artists including Billy Currington, Keith Anderson, and Alabama.
Your musical influences
My biggest influence was probably Whitney Houston. When I was a kid I used to listen to the Bodyguard soundtrack over and over and over. I drove my family crazy. Also Randy Travis's "Outa My Bones" Single. Really did my thing with that. I was probably around 7 or 8 and I made it into a duet. My older brother loved it and that's when I really knew singing was what I wanted to do. I listened to mostly Country and Oldies till I was 13. I still love my Country Music
What equipment do you use?
I record with an MXL condenser microphone, Audacity (Free recording software) & my HP Laptop.
Anything else?
If I used your beat & you don't see the credit given under the song title please let me know & I'll fix it immediately! I am open to collabs however I am slightly picky about who I work with.
