Erin Monroe isn’t following a blueprint—she’s making her own. A singer-songwriter and recording artist originally from the Chicago area, Erin now calls Grand Rapids, MI home, where she’s crafting a sound that’s intimate, bold, and unapologetically real. Rooted in pop and soft glam, her music flows effortlessly from the piano bench.
Erin’s songs are moments of self-acceptance, vulnerability, and personal truth. Her writing explores what it means to say yes to yourself, even when the world isn’t quite ready for it. She’s not chasing approval; she’s chasing authenticity.
Her latest single, Morbidly Sweet, is a masterclass in emotional duality and she breaks your heart with grace. Whether she’s reflecting on grief or joy, Erin delivers it with the kind of subtle power that leaves a lasting mark.
With a voice that invites connection and a presence that feels both grounded and magnetic, Erin is building a community of truth-tellers.
She sings in both English and Spanish, drawing on language to widen her reach and deepen her impact. From her breakout EP, Late Bloom, to her soulful holiday releases, Erin’s journey has always been about growth, healing, and letting the light in. And she does it one note at a time.
This isn’t just music. It’s a path forward.
