Monique Frase

Monique Frase is a London-based singer and songwriter born to a French mother and an English father. She grew up between two musical cultures, with French soul, British R&B, house records and old jazz playing at home. Before pursuing music full-time, she studied architecture at university, a background that still shapes the way she writes, building songs from small details, repeated patterns and the quiet spaces between bigger moments. Her music blends neo-soul and modern R&B with a steady house-tempo lift, pairing a light, expressive upper register with warm, lived-in production. Her single Middle of the Record is about the part of a relationship that rarely gets written about, the ordinary days after the beginning and before the end. Instead of chasing drama, Frase focuses on routine, private jokes and small acts of care, turning everyday intimacy into something worth listening to closely.
