Monique Sondbyrd and Tru Essence
Friday, May 8 @ 7:00PM - 9:00PM
Since the age of 7, Monique “SongByrd” Harris, a Michigan native, has been determined to showcase her writing and powerhouse vocal ability. It was at that age that the adorable little songstress begged her reluctant mother to let her sing at her mom’s wedding. Eventually she convinced her aunt, the wedding coordinator at the time and who was herself a bit curious of what her niece could do….and the rest was history! SongByrd blew away the two sisters as well as the entire room of guests, and she has been singing and performing ever since – including a win in a citywide Star Search competition when she was only 12 years old and also recently won the M.H.A Awards (Michiana’s Hottest Artist).
SongByrd is currently in the studio independently working and on new project to be released in 2026. You can find her music available on all on all digital platforms. Stay tuned for more from this talented and determined young Diva–in– the–making as she continues to deliver her soulful antidotes to the masses of R&B fans suffering from withdrawals alongside her band Tru Essence.
