Where are you from ? South Florida - Boca Raton, Florida Where did you grow up? Boca Raton When did you fall in love with music ? I literally think I came into this world singing!!! I learned to dance while singing (babbling) before I learned to walk!! What was your favorite song when you were growing up? Barney’s “I love you, you love me, we’re a happy family”.... Then as I got older, I was obsessed 76 with Britney‘s “Baby One More Time.” What made you start singing? I was a backup dancer for Ashanti when I was 13 yrs. old and we had a live NBC TV show for the Olympic Figure Skaters and everyone was shouting out “Ashanti, we love you” and after the show I said to my mom, “I want to be a pop artist and I want to be on stage and everyone shout, “Montana, we love you.” The next day, my mom contacted worldrenowned vocal coach and Grammy Awardwinning artist Betty Wright. I started taking vocal lessons from her and well, from then on started booking shows.

How have you been doing sense the COVID-19? Believe it or not, I’ve been really busy. Also, since I haven’t been able to hike, I started working out online with weights and core training. Also, I’ve been taking virtual ZUMBA classes, which I love!! Have you been able to create differently given so much isolation? Oh yes!! I was with my mom 3 months during quarantine in Florida and normally I’m in California doing Tik Toks, Instagram videos and pictures, while collaborating with others on Tik Tok and Instagram doing 10 videos a day. While quarantined with my Mom, she became my only Instagram and Tik Tok partner. She did really great!! Also, my first song, HOLA, since I got signed to Pitbull’s label, Mr. 305, came out just before the pandemic. We were already rehearsing for the official music video for HOLA when everything started to shut down. We ended up not being able to do the official music video and ended up just doing a lyric video. We are now just starting to make plans for the filming of the official music video for HOLA.
