She discovered jazz more deeply and soon found her passion in stride piano during teen years. Entirely learnt by ears in stride style, she began composing original vintage-inspired music during her undergraduate studies at Berklee College of Music, developing a sound that blends authenticity, playfulness with some jazz ideas and making the sound personal as “the Monique way”.Monique has a vintage spirit as a person born in the 2000s as a "modernist" person. Being idiosyncratic from any other people and musicians makes her and the music standing out.Besides piano. Monique is a trumpeter, vintage stylist, artist, and dancer. Creative identities that continue to influence her music and stage presence.Monique is also a current swing-era pianist with Beantown Swing Orchestra and leads The Moniko Stride Duo - A brand new, unusual jazz duo with a rare instrumentation known for its story-driven performance with passion and creativity.About The Moniko Stride/Swing Duo (By Monique - piano & Niko - tuba)Founded on 11/2025.

Niko quickly recognized Monique as a stride pianist, and Monique remembered Niko's powerful and personality-filled tuba playing.A few months later, we reunited musically. Monique had Niko join her original vintage-jazz showcase at the Unplayed/Unheard Jazz & Contemporary Music Concert at Longy School of Music as our 1st duo show-up.The stride piano & tuba duo of Monique & Niko was an immediate public favorite.“Stride piano with tuba by young-generation musicians. Absolutely unique and beautifully synchronized!”About our tuba player - Niko ZontiniAffectionately known as "Monique's stride partner". One of the very few tuba players at Berklee College of Music, a multi-style low brass musician, composer.
