NOW REPRESENTING • MON ROVÎA

With nearly 2 million monthly listeners and a sold-out 2024 North American tour in the books, Mon Rovîa is quickly becoming a household name. A trailblazer in the Afro-Appalachian folk scene, his music is celebrated for its "unique blend of cultural influences and heartfelt storytelling." But it’s not just his music that inspires—it’s the remarkable journey of his life. Read on for a glimpse into the story behind the artist.

“I’m Mon, born in Mon Rovia, Liberia. My life can be summed up by being born into a civil war, escaping the life of a child soldier, rescued by the hands of missionaries. Spent a lot of my developmental years living in a variety of places with a number of life experiences. And then layered on top of all of this is the assimilation I felt being a trans-racially adopted refugee. My music in a nutshell is a culmination of these experiences blended with the empathy I feel for the experiences with others. The mission of my music is to heal with others - with every nation and tongue, in due time.”
