Biography. “Monte grew up on 7 mile on Detroit’s west side. Even at a young age Monte always had a larger
than life aura about him. At college, a classmate introduced Monte to the business of music and
the possibility of becoming a professional recording artist.
Monte had rapped in high school but never thought about doing it for a living.
Always poetic in speech, Monte quickly found out this was his true calling, an ambassador of music,
specifically in hip hop and it's culture and art.
True hip hop illustrates a combination of pain, angst, sorrow and an urban depiction of hard
ships that anyone can relate to. It also includes upbeat feel-good songs and somber ballads.
Because of his naturally outgoing personality, along with his range of emotions and charisma.
Monte is able to reach a wide range of audiences.
His focus is building what truly matters People plus Music.”
