Victoria Monét put her earnings from a publishing deal to good use, and it’s paying off.
For more than a decade, the “Alright” singer has put time and dedication into the entertainment industry.
As AFROTECH™ previously reported, the Atlanta, GA, native developed a knack for performing as a pre-teen at a dance camp. This early experience sparked her interest in songwriting and motivated her to move to Los Angeles, CA.
Since 2010, Monét has collaborated with prominent artists, putting pen to paper for talent such as Brandy Norwood (“Rather Be”), Chloe x Halle (“Do It”), and Ariana Grande (“Thank U, Next”), USA Today reports.
Investing Into Her Dreams
While creating hits for other artists, she was also in the process of cultivating her fanbase. At one point, she described herself as a “struggling songwriter,” but her early belief in success inspired her to invest more deeply into her craft. However, she encountered several learning curves, including vocal production and engineering.
She added, “And I had to keep up with her tour dates and she’s touring for like six months. So, I took that money and made sure that I could sustain that. And I think it became a place where a lot of people discovered who I am and just building on that fan base and slowly converting them into my world.”
Betting on her artistry from the start has made Monét a three-time Grammy Award winner in 2024, following the release of “Jaguar 2” on Aug. 25, 2023. The album notably featured the hit single “On My Mama.”
Now, she’s headlining “The Jaguar Tour” with stops in cities like Washington D.C., Houston, TX, Atlanta, GA, and Detroit, MI.
The tour will conclude on Nov. 15, 2024, in London, UK.
