Monelise began her Masters studies in Popular Music at Goldsmiths University in 2018. It was here that she created and premiered her live show «Hauntology», which was subsequently toured to the Edinburgh Fringe 2019.
Attending press described Monelise’s live performance of «Hauntology» as «a haunting, stunning musical performance in which the performer and audience become one».
Between 2020-2022, Monelise released a series of singles including «Clockwork Heart», «Insane» and «Silver Lake», all of which have steadily circulated through thousands of Spotify playlists. During this time period, Monelise also developed as a professional songwriter and co-wrote songs for rising international artists including John Linhart and Joan Alasta.
Sanctify my love & beyond
2023 saw Monelise soar with Sanctify My Love, her second album blending cinematic intimacy with experimental alt-pop. In 2024, she headlined The Old Church and collaborated with Nick Newton, starring in the ambitious Woodland Shadowmusic video and performing with a 20-piece orchestra. The year ended with the release of I Shall Have You, a darkly mystical anthem of manifestation and longing, signaling her evolution into a bold, spellbinding new era.
