Monica Logani | Artist Page

Monica Logani is a solo piano artist with classical and world music influences that reflect her multicultural identity. While she was born in West Africa to North Indian parents, Monica grew up in the Midwest, USA. She currently splits her time between New York and Valencia, Spain.

Monica’s first album, “Secret Garden,” hit the top 20 in the Zone charts in 2016. It is played on the Sirius XM Spa channel, radio stations and airlines around the world and is streamed in over 27 countries.

Monica trained in classical piano throughout her youth, but didn’t come back to the instrument until well into adulthood. In a chance encounter, she was given an antique player piano. That, along with her lifelong dream to play by ear and the 2008 financial crisis created the perfect opportunity. She was inspired to enroll in the Village East Conservatory of Music in New Jersey. There she studied composition, harmony, theory, and the related sciences. Here she gained a true love for composition and she released her debut album, “Secret Garden” in 2016.

Her new album is “The Long Road.” (See our review here). Reminiscent of the golden era of New Age Piano, “The Long Road” is a solo piano album that is a spiritual narrative about life and loss. Inspired by the passing of a dear friend, the album explores elements of Monica’s cultural roots.

“The Long Road is about the journey…
“Where adversity is not a detour but
rather part of the path… and the difficult
road you are called to walk may be your
only path to success.”
― Richard Paul Evans

“The Long Road” was inspired by Monica’s
dear friend, Juliette Calayag Pralle, whose
journey was short, but her love was strong,
and her life was full.
