You may catch Chelsea Monet in D-town or the Bay, but for now you will find her performing all over LA. She is an MC, singer, songwriter and performing artist that is truly a no label, can't place in a box type of artist. So, she fits in perfectly here on Really Not Radio. We recently got together on the corner of 7th & Fig (Figueroa) in downtown Los Angeles to have a conversation about all things Chelsea Monet.
She currently performs with a few bands and is affiliated with several factors in the underground, LA music scene. Chelsea Monet, when performing as herself, you will get a taste of that real, lyrical hip hop flavor saturated with a message that uplifts and brings awareness to many social injustices of today. Tha Next Monet, an electronic-duo where she brings the flow over her band-mate Elliot's electric bass-hop sounds. Then, there is Courtney C where she is on the vocals, of course, Edgar on guitar and Mike on drums. They're giving you something more along the lines of rockin' good vibes. I mentioned previously that you will find her on stage at least 3 times per week somewhere in LA. You must catch a show because she is so charismatic in general, but when she performs her energy is unmatched by most, and she completely engages the audience. The underground scene is alive and kicking in Los Angeles, CA as she explains further during our interview touching on Uptown, Snatch Power, Bananas, The Ubiquitous Love Tribe, Radio Titans and so much more!
Not only will you be able to get to know more
about Chelsea Monet, the underground LA music scene and life as an indie artist, but she dropped off some of her fav music selections for your listening pleasure. She gave me a nice challenge of arranging her eclectic song choices, but I made it happen. I mean...that's what I do haaaa. SO fun!
Make sure you connect with Chelsea Monet on your favorite social network. Support her MUSIC, watch her videos and attending a show should absolutely be on your bucket list. I'm just saying.
