about
By connecting the sounds of many cultures, Monika Wall has created her own jazz-based vintage cabaret music. An award winning, international singer, her deep roots in the classics, from the lushness of Puccini to the charm of Porter, feed her music reminiscent of bygone eras. Her signature sound includes the charm of Europe and the timeless elegance of Hollywood’s golden age. Monika’s voice spans several octaves while transitioning from jazz/blues to cabaret/classical. Having won several competitions in Canada (Best Performance of Original Composition by Michael Matthews in the Eckhard-Gramatee National Competition, Northwest Regional Metropolitan Opera Competition) she participated in a vocal competition in Hamburg. Realizing that time spent in Europe would be essential to her career she spent five years from Montpellier to Vienna to Berlin before returning to her native Winnipeg. She continued building on her established solo work in classical music, jazz and spirituals (Manitoba Opera, Philharmonic Choir, Gilbert and Sullivan Society, CBC Hymn Sing, Rainbow Stage).
