Wielding a cello and strikingly crafted vocals, Monique Clare is an award-winning Australian songwriter.
Driving rhythms collide with intricate cello lines; heart-tugging harmonies are woven through compelling vocals. Monique’s lyrics speak to the ruminations of her generation and dive deep into the universal experiences of love and loss.
From teaching cello in war-torn Afghanistan to leading groups of listeners up a mountainside in the dark for mountaintop sunrise concerts, Monique's fearless and intrepid nature craves adventure.
Her disarmingly candid stage presence is born from years of international touring with The Maes and session work for everyone from Kate Miller-Heidke to Eminem.

Monique is an endorsed D’Addario Artist and plays on Kaplan cello strings.
“Kaplans are meaty, robust, and particularly good for rhythmic, chordal playing. For my work, which involves multi-genre, amplified performances; accompanying singing; playing trad fiddle tunes and occasionally crossing back over to classical - Kaplans are the best.”
