Monica Arnold was born October 24, 1980, in Atlanta, Georgia. The daughter of Marilyn Best, a church singer, Monica was surrounded by soulful music from an early age while being raised in Atlanta's College Park. Her stepfather's job as a minister only highlighted the family's church life. Monica was passionate about music as a baby, and even performed in public at the Jones Chapel United Methodist Church at age 2.
By the time she was 10, Monica was a member of Charles Thompson and the Majestics, a traveling choir. As the youngest member of the choir, Monica had practice early on in her career, which came in handy as a frequent talent show contestant.
With incredible vocal chords and the influence of Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin and Rachelle Farrell, Monica entered a slew of talent competitions held at the Center Stage auditorium in Atlanta. As if winning more than 20 awards at these competitions wasn't enough (thanks to her rendition of "The Greatest Love Of All"), Rowdy Records executive Dallas Austin (known for his work with Madonna and Boyz II Men) noticed Monica's performance at one of these showcases.
12-year old Monica was signed to Rowdy Records, a division of Arista Records, and after a meeting with Arista President Clive Davis, she was ready to take on the music industry. By the time she was 14, her single "Don't Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days)" was sitting pretty at the top of the Billboard R&B charts. She made history when her second single, "Before You Walk Out Of My Life" also became a #1 hit, as the youngest artist to have 2 consecutive chart-topping hits on Billboard's R&B chart. |
