Music is the essence of life and its many experiences. Through experience we learn to understand one another no matter what our ethnicity. We learn to laugh, to cry and most importantly to love. All these raw emotions are vehicles for inspiration which allows true artist to express themselves.......Monk is an artist in the purest form who was born in Detroit City in an era that was rich with originality and creativity.Using these same emotions of everyday life as inspiration,Monk
represents an original vibe based in the realm of Hip Hop, yet boundless in creativity......."To me if you can't feel the music than what's the purpose of it. There has to be a balance,so I'm offering my music to the people as another avenue of expression.".......Monk first Began his career as a solo artist then later found common roots planted in the group called Ditmot.Having luke warm success, Monk soon after helped form the critically acclaimed group known as Ichabods Tree.Monk has since then worked on various projects with other notable artist such as AfraBehn, Danny Rey, and SG....Continuing to bring his natural vibe to the people in an Edutainment platform, proving that an MC's responsibility is to entertain and educate!!!
