"Thank you for your downloading my radio singles, especially "Woman of God". I put a lot of love, tears , time & heart into this cd, Literally!"

Monikas' been working the independant artist scene for a few years now. She says shes unapologetic when it comes to songwriting for more famous "Artist".

"Its all the same job to me, really. I put as much effort into Singing as much as I do Songwriting.

Writing for other Artist is really a joy to me, and I hope to continue to write songs that others will enjoy recording. Its their Album, they can choose whomever & whatever songs they want. So, theres no greater honor, in my book, than to have written something so well that another Artist counts it worthy enough to embrace it and release on their own project.

As much as I push my catalog, when someone calls and says " I want to record one of your songs", its still stuns me. I know its silly, but really, it does. In myself I'm thinking " Oh, man, I hope this isn't a mistake. Maybe they've got me confused with another Songwriter..LOL!"

Monikas CD "From the Mind of a Christian Girl" afforded her the opportunity to work with her Husband, Saxaphonist turned music producer, Marcus "Terry" Moore.

"My Husband turned into my hero for this project. Ya'll almost got an a'capella cd! I can sing the whole song to you, front and Back, arrange mix and engineer vocals. But when it comes to playing, I'm a sad, sad sight !

My husband really threw himself into unchartered territory; spreading his music production wings. And he did a wonderful, wonderful Job.

Even if He did turn into a Diva at times!
He's gonna get me for this, but ya'll he was mean!! He'd put me out the studio, ( MY own studio!). He would make fun of my scratch demos and tell me "Not to EVER touch the piano again."

He'd say " Monika Bourgeois, ALL I WANT TO HEAR IS YOUR VOICE ON THAT DEMO and NOTHING ELSE!!! NO BELLS, NO HARMONICA, NO DRUMS..Just SING THE SONG ANNA MAE!!"

But I'm sometimes a Diva too, so I didn't care! I was on a mission. And after all we've been through as Husband & Wife, this was a piece of cake.
God put us together & for that reason we won't part.
So, mission accomplished.

Other credits include Derwin Davis & Vincent Wiley for their wonderful production skills on Addicted, Overwhelmed & Woman of God.
