***GOOD NEWS! DARCI'S NEW STUDIO ALBUM "FUSION" WILL BE ON SALE MAY 12TH. RESERVE YOUR COPY TODAY AT HER OFFICIAL WEBSITE (LINK TO THE LEFT).***
Darci Monet's critically acclaimed debut CD entitled "My Own Road" is described as a cross between Heart, Melissa Etheridge and Aretha Franklin. Recorded in Nashville, TN, this album is a no-frills yet passionate pop/rock listening experience with vibrant melodies, compelling chord progressions and introspective lyrics. The mix of classic rock influence, powerhouse vocals, catchy pop hooks and a-girl-and-her-band production style create a refreshing break from today's cookie-cutter radio fare.
TALENT is back.
Darci Monet is a classically and commercially trained professional vocalist, vocal coach, independent recording artist and award-winning songwriter. She gave her first professional performance at age eleven in Upstate New York in a local production of "Annie", began her professional career during college at Belmont University in Nashville as a studio singer, songwriter and recording artist and continues now in Los Angeles.
Darci's vocal credits include principal performances in film and television ("Napoleon Dynamite", "How I Met Your Mother"), live performances and master recording sessions with major label artists (Dolly Parton, Steve Winwood, Amy Grant, The Judds, etc.), songwriter demos (ABC sitcom "Hope and Faith") and national ads (Subway Corporation). Live, Darci currently performs backup for top ten Billboard-charting dance diva/rocker Debby Holiday.
Songs she has written have been featured in indie movies and major network television shows ("Kiss The Bride" starring Tori Spelling, "The Apprentice", "The Young & The Restless", "Days of Our Lives"), won awards and honorable mentions in prestigious songwriting competitions (Unisong Songwriting Contest, Great American Song Contest, Billboard Songwriting Contest), and have been cut on major label albums (Music With A Twist, distributed by Columbia).
Stepping out from behind the scenes, Darci has just finished her new CD, which will be released on May 12, 2009. Fusion seamlessly brings together "Rock Chick-Darci" and "Coffeehouse-Darci," like a Kelly Clarkson, Eva Cassidy and Ann Wilson sandwich with a side of Aretha. She explains, “This project represents what I feel are the two strongest sides of me as a musician and writer. I decided that if I was going to take on the monumental task of recording an album again, I’d want both sides represented. So, ‘side A’ is the full band, full production pop/rock with a splash of soul I’m already known for. ‘Side B’ represents the quiet side that before now has mostly revealed itself in collaborations I’ve done on other artists’ projects.” Tracks featured on the album were written with Levi Kreis (on whose critically acclaimed albums One of the Ones and The Gospel According to Levi she is prominently featured as a writer and vocalist), Debby Holiday, Jeff Fedak, Chris Mitchell and Brandon Harvey. Fusion was produced by Darci and Steve Gryphon (Avril Lavigne, Gavin DeGraw, Debby Holiday), with pre-production by Ron Jagger (Michael W. Smith, dc Talk).
As a vocal coach, Darci's studio is exclusive and she accepts students by audition only. Darci's clients have appeared in national commercials, on Broadway, L.A.'s best clubs and everywhere in between. She also utilizes her coaching expertise as the author of the popular web column "A Working Musician's Review", in which she reviews contestants' performances on shows like "American Idol." She also sits as head judge for "Fame," L.A.'s best singing competition hosted by promoter Mario Pescatore.
Darci is SAG-eligible and her publishing company, Songs From The Fortress, is registered with BMI.

Talent certainly IS back!
author: Tiffany, recording artist, 80's teen icon"I first heard Darci when I lived in Nashville and I was so impressed with the power in her voice and her range. We became friends when she moved to L.A. and I know that she is an unbelievable force that deserves to be heard. You can’t deny the talent."
The ORIGINAL bad-ass singer right here...
author: Christine Smith Of Lilminx PromotionsWe may sound biased...but the reason we promote Darci Monet's music online is because she is such an incredible and incomparable talent. No one on this planet sings better...and that's saying A LOT! Stunning and thought provoking lyrics, powerhouse vocals, production that avoids a lot of useless special effects...Darci is the real thing. An incredible artist, singer, songwriter and chick rocker. We are so proud to represent her. Buy this record...just so you can say, "I remember when..."
"A Tornado-like Force to be Reckoned With..."
author: Lee Smith, Southeast Performer MagazineA twister of Wilson sisters-style pleading blended with 90's modernism, Monet has a sensual delivery that alternately snakes and gallops along like a "Barracuda" in heat...when hurricane Monet hits town, the only survivors will be those fortunate enough to check out this mature and promising new talent.
