Rising Star MonCherie sings in a pop style over R&B/Pop music as well as Soca and Reggae inspired tracks. No Santa was a big hit, now being followed closely by her new video for Billy Boom Boom.
On being a singer: There is nothing else I want to be in this world. ~ MonCherie
CGR: You moved from the pageant world to becoming a pop singer. What has inspired you to become a pop singer?
MonCherie: I was born a singer, that was always in my heart. Being in pageants was something that came later on in my life. First of all, I knew that I was blessed with a great talent and I wanted to use it for a greater good. It inspires me when I make people happy by listening to my music.
CGR: Do you write your lyrics and collaborate on the vocal arrangement of the tracks?
MonCherie: Yes I have a very close writing team, I have been working with them for years. I do write my material as well.
CGR: You display some hot moves in your big hit video for “No Santa”– tell us about the concepts behind the video shoot and the choreography.
MonCherie: The video is all about having fun and enjoying the holiday season in a different way. Traditionally, Christmas songs focus on Santa Claus, kissing under the mistletoe, milk and cookies, stuff like that! I wanted to add a twist to it by saying I don’t want Santa, I want to party and I want a man with a body like a tonka! The video and the choreography conveys that. It is fun, sexy and Caribbean inspired.
CGR: We know that being a performer can be a lot of work, busy schedules and long hours sometimes. How do you unwind and relax?
MonCherie: Outside of my music career, I am actually a pretty low-key person. I like to unwind by spending time with my cat and loved ones…maybe take a mini vacation.
CGR: If you were not a performer, what would you be doing today?
MonCherie: There is nothing else I want to be in this world. But I do love helping children in need so maybe I would be a missionary or something like that.
