Artist History Fiddled with songwriting as a way to learn the guitar and after a dozen or so too many visits to open mic nights, a singer/songwriter was 'born'. Monica Uhm has traipsed about the divey downtown bar scene performing original material since the Fall of 1994. She's hooked up with a varietal array of musicians that swayed the projects to grunge/rock, folk/pop, country/rock, jazzy/folk... never tried hip hop to date - yet. She has appeared in over a dozen venues in the city with and without a band, most consistently at the Elbow Room on Bleecker Street. Primarily a songwriter, she is always writing new material and meeting interesting musicians and producers to see what can happen next. Currently she is working on honing the production of songs such as "My Life is Beautiful" available here at mp3.com, and hopes to pitch the material to more suitable artists. As a performer, she is more folk with an ethereal twist, but loves to throw in some good old fashion country rock twang. Keep watch for more songs on mp3.com in the upcoming weeks and for appearances in New York City in the Fall.
