Darci Monet's resume reads like a Who's Who of professional musicians.
Credits include principle vocal performances in record-smashing
independent films (Napoleon Dynamite), hit television shows (How I Met
Your Mother) and backup vocals for legendary recording artists (Steve
Winwood, Dolly Parton, The Judds, Amy Grant). Also listed are various
honors from prestigious songwriting contests (Unisong, Billboard) and
songs she has written with writing partner/recording artist Levi Kreis
at the helm have enjoyed placements on long-running shows like Days of
Our Lives, The Young and the Restless and The Apprentice. As a vocal
coach, Monet's students have appeared everywhere from Broadway (Rent),
national commercials (Choice Hotels), episodic television (24,
American Idol) and in L.A.'s hottest clubs (World Famous Roxy, Viper
Room). In a career that spans twenty years, Darci Monet has been in
the background for its majority.
However, come her next birthday on May 12th, Monet will finally step
into the limelight with the release of her highly-anticipated new
studio album, Fusion. The project, a "Kelly Clarkson-Eva Cassidy-Ann
Wilson sandwich with a side of Aretha," will be available for purchase
both physically and digitally from DarciMonet.com, CDBaby.com and
iTunes. Amazon.com, Rhapsody and various other digital music sites are
to follow.
With Fusion, Monet has united her two strongest sides as a musician
and writer, with a shout-out to the days before information technology
it did when I was a kid and you had to turn the tape over in the
mostly revealed itself in collaborations I've done with other
artists."
Highlights on Fusion feature Monet's signature gut-busting vocals and
several songs co-written with Kreis, including the hook-laden but edgy
first single, "Jezebel," the blues-and-pheromone-drenched "Smoke and
Leather" and Monet's own rendition of their wistful hit ballad, "I
Should Go" (which first appeared on Kreis' critically acclaimed CD One
of the Ones). Billboard chart-topping dance/rock artist Debby Holiday
lends her writing skills to "Paper Doll" and both Holiday and Kreis
contribute gospel-rich choir vocals on the inspirational "Go On,"
written by Monet after a visit to Ground Zero in 2006. Fusion was
produced in Los Angeles by Steve Gryphon (Avril Lavigne, Gavin DeGraw)
and Monet with pre-production in Nashville by Ron Jagger (dc Talk,
Michael W. Smith).
