Monika Wall

After a decade of establishing herself as an international singer Monika Wall began writing her own songs responding to a call in the night from three new songs insisting on being heard. Taking her award winning voice (Best Performance of Original Work Eckhardt Gramattee National Composition) and combining forces with Juno award winning producer Murray Pulver (Doc Walker, Bros Landreth, Steve Bell) she has created her sophomore EP of originals ‘Earth’ to be released Spring 2018. Building on the success of ‘Parallel Mondo’ where the world was first introduced to her music ‘Earth’ shows a further deepening of her songwriting. Songs that celebrate the pulse of life and the tug of music on her soul. The former opera singer brings the power and emotional intensity of a voice that is extraordinary and rare.

Her songs have been heard on national radio and concert stages, festivals and house concerts in North America and Europe.( recently Nu Sounds Festival, Winnipeg International Jazz Festival, Thompson Summer Concert Series, Lyric Theatre Summer Concerts, EMCA Concert Series)
Thousand year old stone cathedrals echoed as Monika ’s voice rang with timeless spirituals during her five year sojourn singing in Europe while audiences here in North America were equally caught up in an emotional response as Monika’s new gospel/blues song ‘Big Blue Waves’  was introduced to audiences accompanied by the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra’s salute to Canadian composers in 2016.
Monika Walls’ songs have both power and intimacy. There is a timeless quality which makes her music hauntingly familiar while retaining her own personal stamp of quality and integrity.
The epic journey from Puccini to Porter to her own soulful songwriting has the thread of a spirit born to make music and a quest to find the way to reach the deepest caverns of the heart.
