ABOUT SIOBHAN MONIQUE
Siobhan Monique’s artistic journey began with a rhythm ingrained in her soul by her uncle, Buster Cooper, a luminary of the Duke Ellington Band. Siobhan attended the Pinellas County Center for the Arts where she was as a finalist in the Walker Rising Stars Scholarship Foundation and a featured soloist at the National Holocaust Remembrance project in Washington D.C. With a degree in Classical Voice from the University of South Florida, Siobhan now leads her band, Siobhan Monique and The Negro Ninja’s. Her theater roles include “Radio Hours,” Bess in “Porgy and Bess” at Platinum Theaters Bella Voce, and in “Inertia: The Musical.” In New York’s theater scene, she appeared in “Cranky Cabaret” and her own one-woman show, “Siobhan Monique and More,” at the Duplex Theater. Notably, Siobhan portrayed Sarah’s friend in “Ragtime: The Musical” at American Stage. Siobhan serves as the spokesperson for the nonprofit organization, RaceWithoutIsm and is president at AncestralFunk Academy, a school of the arts. Siobhan is also the curator of the Motherland Music Festival, a celebration of cultural heritage and musical diversity. A WEDU-PBS documentary featuring Siobhan was nominated for an Emmy, showcasing her commitment to the arts as a catalyst for change. Through her many talents, Siobahn’s love of jazz is constant.
