She’s a California girl who’s been working behind the scenes for a while, but now she is out and ready to strike. That’s how R&B artist, songwriter, and producer Victoria Monet describes herself. She dropped her first album Jaguar back in 2021 is now seeing the success of it with her single “Coastin’.”

Monet has great positive energy and is a ball of talent. She started her career as a writer, writing for some heavy hitters including Ariana Grande. Monet is so hot right now, she recently sold out a show in Los Angeles in one minute. I got a chance to chop it up with her as she gets ready for her tour and to drop Jaguar II on August 25. What I admire about her most is her humbleness.

You’ll hear it in our interview.
