Monica Denise Arnold (born October 24, 1980), professionally known as Monica, is a Grammy Award-winning American R&B singer, songwriter, composer and occasional actress. She debuted in 1995 under the guidance of Rowdy Records head Dallas Austin and became the youngest recording act to ever have two consecutive chart-topping hits on the U.S. Billboard Top R&B Singles chart. Following a major success with “The Boy Is Mine”, a duet with singer Brandy, in 1998, a series of hit records established her position as one of the most successful of the new breed of urban R&B female vocalists to emerge in the mid-to late 1990s.

In the early 2000s, during which time she dealt with more personal tribulations including the suicide of her boyfriend Jarvis “Knot” Weems, an up-and-down relationship with former fiancé Corey “C-Murder” Miller and the delay of her heavily-bootleged third album, All Eyez on Me. In 2003 Monica eventually released After the Storm, and after an unsuccessful period, she returned to the forefront of R&B music with her sixth number-one hit “So Gone”.

After giving birth to her first child, Rodney Ramone Hill III, in May 2005, and another short hiatus, Monica released her fourth studio album, The Makings of Me in October 2006.To this day, Monica has sold 20 million records worldwide with grammy and billboard awards. Monica is currently writing material on Toni Braxton’s long-awaited album.

Monica’s “The Single” will premier on August 5, 2008 with appearances by Dallas Austin, Ludacris, Brian Michael Cox,Rocko and more.
