Monique’s seven albums (Head Records) span jazz/roots through folk/indie pop to neo- classical solo piano compositions.

Her current project STELLA: The Miles Franklin Story is a two hour musical telling the life story of Australian author Stella Miles Franklin. STELLA recently played a sellout workshop season at The Jazzlab featuring Alma Zygier, and is being developed towards a theatrical debut in 2024. Since returning to Melbourne from New York in 2009 Monique has toured internationally with Disney’s The Lion King, scored various film/stage productions and been Musical Director of ‘Tapestry:The Songs of Carol King’ feat. Vika Bull/Debra Byrne. Recent collaborators include Clare Bowditch, Harry James Angus, Deborah Conway and Rebecca Barnard, for whom she recently produced/arranged ‘The Night We Called It a Day’. She has been the recipient of many prizes including Fulbright, Queens Trust and Australia Council awards and teaches at the VCA (Melbourne Conservatorium of Music) and Monash University jazz departments.
