 Monna grew up with house music. His DJ sets and production work reflect both his progressive thought and his coming of age while House music was evolving from Chicago's disco scene. His sets resonate with the same feelings he felt while listening to pioneering DJ such as Ron Hardy, The Hot Mix 5, and Frankie Knuckles. However, Monna has taken his sets a step further through his record selection. His style of house music fuses old school energy with futuristic ideals creating intoxicating sound scapes grounded by rugged, melodies that grab your heart. In the early 90's Monna began his career with such DJ's as Sneak, Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, Diz, and Ron Trent. His skills soon earned him residencies at every major spot in Chicago. By the mid-nineties he was making regular trips to Winnipeg, Manitoba while maintaining his place in Chicago's underground scene. As the 90's came to a close, Monna joined with Chicago's DJs "the Mad Thinker" and Jeremiah Seraphine to form 3°, a Chicago member-based organization dedicated to house music and its culture. As a 3° resident DJ Monna gained a weekly spot at the 3° Ultra Lounge in Chicago and a monthly residency at the 3° Foundation Party in San Francisco.Currently, Monna plays every Wednesday in Chicago, once a month in San Francisco and a regular 88.1 WCRX in Chicago.
