His Mother, Monica
Monica Denise Arnold, known simply as Monica, is a RnB/pop vocalist of more than two decades experience. She started in Georgia with a childhood love of music.
Born on October 24, 1980, in College Park, Georgia, Monica already had musical tastes. At four she was singing in her church choir. Her talent was not unnoticed and she performed at many talent shows throughout her childhood. This dedication paid off in 1991 when record producer Dallas Austin discovered Monica at the age of eleven. Austin liked her powerful voice and signed her to a record deal on his Rowdy Records record label.
Monica’s first album Miss Thang dropped in 1995 and was a huge success. The album, which included hits like “Don’T Take It Personal (Just 1 of Dem Days)” and “Before You Walking Out My Life” established her as a promising teen with a promising future in music. Her sophomore album The Boy Is Mine (1998) was a collaboration with fellow RnB singer Brandy. The title track was a record-setting duet that won them a Grammy Award in the late 90s for Best RnB Performance by a duet or Group with Vocal.
Monica continued to release critically acclaimed albums through the early 2000s following the huge success of “The Boy Is Mine.” Albums like “All eyes on Me” (1999) and “After the Storm” (2003) established her as one of the premier RnB musicians of her generation. While music remained her main interest, Monica also did some acting in films including “Boys & Girls” (2000) and TV shows Living Single (1996) and “American Dreams” (2003).
In the second half of the 2000s Monica had personal and professional struggles. But she came back stronger, using her experiences to make powerful music that fans loved. Albums like Still Standing (2008) and New Life (2012) revealed a more mature and reflective side of the artist. Monica continued to tour and release music throughout the 2010s and 2020s, as well as work with other artists and maintain contact with her loyal fans.
Monica is twice married and mother to two sons – Rodney Ramone Hill Sr. and Romelp Montez Hill who is in the NBA.
Monica has built a successful career with her craft. Estimates put her net worth at USD 15 million. But her legacy goes beyond financial gain. Monica has inspired generations of fans with her powerful vocals, honest music and toughness when faced with challenges.
