The debut album "Essence" by artist MONIA takes you on a journey of discovery into your own being.

Monia's first studio album "Essence" was released on 30.9.2022 by Timezone Records. The 13 soul songs produced together with Adax Dörsam speak directly from the singer's soul and get under the listener's skin.

Gospel in content, soul in music, coated with ethnic influences, jazz elements and a lot of love for self created music. Sometimes tender, sometimes effervescent, playful and childlike. Melodies and lyrics that spring from the heart and flow back into the heart, like a healing cycle. A soul embrace that gives hope and strength and reminds us that we are strong creative beings.

Adax Dörsam's flair for music blends beautifully with Monia's messages. "Essence" is an album with depth and the courage to confess. A journey of discovery of one's own being and a return to the essentials, especially in these times.
