Bio
Mona Smith-Stocklin is a R&B soul singer out of Southern California. A native of Farmington, New Mexico, Mona grew up in the Inland Empire in Southern California. Mona was singing before she could talk. She grew up under the roof of her parents listening to various genres of music, from Blues, Country, rock to R&B (aka Ruth Butler for those who don't know where R&B came from.) Mona inherited her love for music from her father Joseph Lewis Smith who was a recording artist that sang background for many singing groups such as ZZ Hill, BB King, Bobby Blue Band, Luther Ingram and Little Milton all through her childhood. Mona saw that Singing came naturally to her father and she loved listening to him sing. There was a rich tone to his voice that connected with young Mona’s soul that inspired her to sing. Music is a Safe Haven and outlet for Mona to this day and many have been blessed by the heartfelt songs she has written over the years.
“Through music, I can be anybody when I don't wanna be me.”
