Live Music - Monica Larrea

Returning to Common Grounds Cafe, singer-songwriter Monica Larrea, also known as “Musical Monica,” is a dynamic musician hailing from sunny San Diego, CA. Blending Indie, Latin, Pop, and Soul influences, her music is characterized by powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics.

Born with a melody in my veins and raised on Abuela's telenovela soundtrack, Monica, a soulful singer-songwriter weaves together Pop, R&B, Neo-Soul, Latin, Classics, Alt-Rock, Kid-friendly songs, and more! Whether it's belting out power ballads by female singers (Adele, Dolly Parton, Ariana Grande, Stevie Nicks and more), or whispering smooth Jazz and Neo-Soul tunes (new and old) Monica pours her heart into every note. But the stage isn't just for covers – when applicable, she also loves to share her original music, which fuses these genres.
