Born and raised in the Bronx, Monique Lisa came up in a time when Hip Hop was just getting its respect. It is at this time she discovered her love for stories, music and dance that shaped her into the force she is today. As a graduate of the famous High School of Performing Arts (“Fame” the movie) for dance, this is where she caught the acting bug.
Even though Monique Lisa started writing scripts at the age of seven she admits high school reinforced that love. Monique says “I’ve been producing plays in my parents’ backyard so long that I thought that’s where all plays started out.” That love has aided her in her success with her plays “All My Struggles” and with its brand. Monique Lisa also attended the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and Pace University, NYC where she studied dance, film production and directing. Her acting film credits include “Beat Street” produced by Harry Belafonte and “Krush Groove” produced by Russell Simmons, two of Hip Hop’s first big movies. Also she had a small movie part in “A Walk to Remember” starring Jacqueline Smith (Charlie’s Angels).
Monique also co- produced, cast and co-directed the anti-bullying film “Speedsuit” which was accepted into film festivals. “Evulsion” was Monique Lisa’s first short film she wrote, produced and starred in. Monique Lisa has also hosted many television shows including “Graffiti Rock”, “Gospel Vibrations” and “Monique Lisa Talks” one of the first paid- programming TV-pilots picked up by Magic Johnson’s Aspire network. Monique has co-produced and co-directed the feature film “Speedsuit” written by Allen Paul Weaver and Associate produced “Zodiac Sign” for writer director Christopher Nolen II.
