Brazilian/American singer/songwriter Monica da Silva has spent her life bouncing between two continents.
Wherever she goes her musical muse tags along. And like a new dress or a great pair of flip flops, inspired lyrics and catchy melodies are things she picks up along the way.

Monica then set out on her own, performing and recording her first solo album. Co-writing with guitarist Brett Ratner (who has written and produced songs for prime time shows such as "Criminal Minds," "Saving Grace," "The Wedding Bells," and "My Name is Earl") and co-producing with Grammy-nominated producer/engineer Rick Barnes (Lucky Boys Confusion, Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Liquid Soul)...
