Monika Ryan is an award-winning jazz vocalist, songwriter, and recording artist whose music blends classic jazz elegance with a contemporary voice full of warmth and wit. Rooted in tradition yet always writing for modern ears, she's built a singular body of work—penning a new song nearly every day and releasing an album most years.

A native New Yorker now based in New Jersey, Monika began performing as a teenager, studying privately with jazz legends Jackie Paris and Sheila Jordan before graduating from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. A voting member of The Recording Academy, she's headlined the Montreal International Jazz Festival and performed throughout Japan, Hong Kong, Ireland, and across the U.S., sharing stages with jazz greats including Jon Faddis, David Hazeltine, James Williams, Al Grey, and Charli Persip.

Audiences describe her live presence as "mesmerizing"—a blend of deep connection, sincerity, humor, and unmistakable joy. Tonight, experience it for yourself.
