HER
Fresh off of their European tour– and when I say fresh, I mean 6 days fresh–we chat about one of the coolest bands coming up independently out of Nashville right now: the band HER.
HER is fronted by this awesome, open-minded
, animal lovin’, boundary pushin’, passionate being named Monique. Monique hails out of New York City, where she was always surrounded by the arts at birth. HER dad is an artist on the streets of soho, and of course if anyone knows about the art in soho, it’s some of the best in the world. Fun fact is all of the art done for the band is done by Monique’s father. So New York City is where Monique’s love for music began, writing her first few songs at 9 years old and performing at NYC’s legendary venue CBGB’s at 13 years old.
Monique and her producer, Caleb “KBC” Sherman, combined forces in Brooklyn to start an earlier version of what is now HER called HER a
nd Kings Country. They ended up inking with Warner bros/ Electra and had the single “White Trash Country Boy” chart on 26 of Music Row Break Out Charts.
Fast forward again, HER breaks away from the label and starts an evolution of HER and Kings Country into, well just.. HER. Releasing their first album independently, titled – Revolution. You can find some of my favorite videos from that album on YouTube titled “Mean Man” and “Crush”, in which Vibin’ Music Network sponsored, and if you look closely, you may notice a particular nun at the beginning and end of the video ??.
All-in-all if you haven’t
seen this band live before a) you may want to reevaluate what your priorities have been thus far in life and b)
the energy level put on by this band is something most in the industry would call the “It” factor. Between HER vocals, performance, engagement, and statements with wardrobe, you never know what HER is going to toss your way.
