GRAMMY AWARD winning Monica Denise Arnold (formerly Brown; born October 24,
1980) is an American singer, rapper and actress. Born and raised in College
Park, Georgia, she began performing as a child and became part of a traveling
gospel choir at the age of ten.
Throughout her career, several of Monica's singles became number-one hits
on the pop and R&B charts.

Monica was still fourteen when her second single was released, "Before You Walk Out Of My Life," which also went to the #1 R&B spot and took home the Platinum. This made her the youngest artist ever to have two consecutive #1 hits on the Billboard R&B chart. Her youth alone, in fact, puts Monica in rare company with the handful of legends whose #1 R&B debuts also happened while they were in puberty: Frankie Lymon (age 13), "Little"
Stevie Wonder (also 13), and "Little" Esther Phillips (14) come immediately to mind.
She was still in the church choir when cousin Melinda Dancil began to encourage the fifth
grader to check out the talent shows at Center Stage Auditorium. Organized by local DJ Ryan Cameron and the West Coast female rapper
Yo-Yo, the talent shows were the perfect place to showcase "The Greatest Love Of All," a consistent winner for Monica over the next two years.

Local A&R representative Kevin Wales introduced Monica to Dallas Austin, known for his work with
Madonna,
TLC,
Boyz II Men, Joi,
Grace Jones, Highland Place Mobsters and others.
Monica
commenced her first promotional tours that Summer of 1995 in support of her Platinum-plus album, "Miss Thang," which included two hits. By the time the third smash came out in mid-1996, "Why I Love You So Much/Ain't Nobody," Monica was fifteen, traveling with a full-time tutor, a road manager, a band, dancers and a concert itinerary (with the likes of
TLC,
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony,
Keith Sweat and others) that kept her busy for more than a year. Touring didn't stop until sixteen year-old Monica returned home to graduate with her Atlanta Country Day School class on Friday the 13th of June, 1997 with a 4.0 GPA.

According to Billboard, she is the youngest recording act to ever have two
consecutive chart-topping hits on the Billboard Top R&B Singles chart, as well
as the first artist to top the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart over the
span of three consecutive decades (1990s, 2000s, and 2010s).
In 2010, Billboard listed Monica at number 24 on its list of the Top 50
R&B and Hip Hop Artists of the past 25 years. A four-time nominee, she won a
Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for her
contribution to "The Boy Is Mine" alongside
Brandy, at the 41st awards
ceremony and has been the recipient of one Billboard Music Award, one BET Award,
and two BMI Pop Awards.
In 2010, Monica joined
Trey Songz on his
Passion, Pain & Pleasure Tour, her first North American concert tour in ten
years.
In 2011, Monica joined the debut season of the reality talent show The
Voice as an adviser to musician coach
