Today we’d like to introduce you to Amber Moneè.
Hi Amber, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
My musical journey all began when I was 2. Legends say that I grabbed a mic one day and started singing from the pulpit randomly. From there, I got into piano lessons at the age of five. The first song I learned was “Jesus loves me” on the keys. Something that was even more exciting to me as a young child was that I was able to sing at my kindergarten graduation. That moment showed me that music was just who I am! As I got older, I did every talent show you can think of, I also found interest in being in an orchestra playing the viola while I was on the praise team at church in my middle school years. Once I got to high school, my love for singing increased, I signed up for chorus learned a lot, then I curated my own singing group. I can honestly say that was the highlight of my career. We were so bomb! While we were still in high school at the time, but we had some incredible opportunities.
Once major one I’ll never forget was when we had the chance to perform at an award show with a few celebrities in houses, it made us feel like a million bucks. The journey was mind-blowing, we were doing some amazing things. We met with a few industry execs, had investors and building a strong fan base. We were constantly in the studio and performed around the city. At this point, our lives were in the industry. As time went on, like most groups, we broke up due to multiple personalities… we all just couldn’t get along. I was 20 when we broke up, and from then, I was on my own. To be honest, I didn’t know what to do! I was devastated when we broke up. I felt as if I lost a part of myself. I didn’t know how to continue on without my support group, best friends/sisters, but I tried to fight through my insecurities every chance I got.
By the age of 25, I was back on the scene and ready to do what I’m called to do! That year was the first year I threw an event, I invited super-talented artists to open up for me and I debuted my first single, something that was so near and dear to my heart. My heart was so full at the turnout and that was the beginning of me believing in myself again. I was able to drop my first EP shortly after that “Pieces of Her Soul” which explores different parts of who I am. At the age 26, I was blessed to find some crazy talented musicians and here I am again performing around Atlanta, but this time, putting together my own shows/productions. I was such in awe in how God was moving so fast in my life the moment I decided to take action again. Then another opportunity presented itself. Currently, I’m a part of a traveling band at the age 28 and it’s coming up on a year since I started with them. I’m so grateful for this journey and ready to take it up a notch. I am Amber Moneè and it’s my time.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
The road was not the smoothest, especially dealing with different egos, difficulties with scheduling, and also dealing with many men in the industry over-sexualizing hungry artists. This is all while being in the group. In my solo career, the most I had to deal with was deciphering who was actually for me or is this person just selling me a dream.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
In the midst of me redefining what music means to me, I fell in love with producing shows. It fulfilled me in many ways, it gave me a new vision in storytelling. It all started with my 25th birthday, people fell so in love with the storyline and how it flowed. There was so much love in the room. That inspired me to curate my own business “Miss Monee’s Enterprise” and I immediately started having shows around the city. I’m still currently building my brand and I’m super excited for this new journey. I already know it’s bigger than me.
Can you share something surprising about yourself?
In 2019, I experienced vocal damage. This was such a dark time for me! I wasn’t able to sing a note, that was extremely heartbreaking. I couldn’t figure out why God took my voice from me. I felt as if I had nothing to offer anymore. In that time I was reminded about how powerful my natural gift was. This changed my entire perspective with how I shared my gift with the world.
