MONIQUE SMITH
Behavior Therapy Specialist, Author & Spoken Word Artist
Sacramento native Monique Smith, aka Miss MouthPeace, is a visionary who inspires, motivates, empowers and merges all of her worlds together through empowerment music and life coaching. Her focus is to provide non–traditional educational seminars, leadership development, self discovery and creativity. She not only embodies the sound and deep achy feeling of soul music; she pours all her passion into her singing. For the music, she tinkers with different genres but has an affinity for old school grooves with jazzy elements and just a slice of hip-hop—the perfect companion to her smoky voice. But more than anything, the most important aspect for her is to make sure that what she’s singing moves people. “R&B gives you a love feeling,” she explains. “But a soulful thing penetrates your soul.”
