When did you realize you were interested in art?

I’ve wanted to draw for a living since I was a kid. My friend and I would draw our own Pokémon and Yugioh cards, which sparked our love to draw.

What Influences you and where do you get your inspiration?

I get a lot of my ideas of my inspiration from the people around me, music, comics/anime, and other artists.

Who are your top 5 favorite artists?

My 5 right now (not in any order) are Yuji Iwahara, Kang Minjung, Catherina Bastos, Lesean Thomas, and Sanford Greene.

If you could work with anyone dead or alive who would it be?

If I could work with anyone right now it probably be Kim Jung Gi. His work is amazing, and I could learn a lot from him.

What differentiates you from different artist?

I believe my style sets me apart from other artists. It definitely catches people’s attention. In addition, the subject matter that I draw and my ability to use various mediums differentiates me from other artists.

What impact do you wish to leave with your art?

I want to inspire people with my art. I want those who believe they can’t accomplish their dream to see my work and realize anything is possible. I also want to create characters and work that people want to share with others.

No Comments on Mona Brea ~ Flaws (New Release)

Mona Brea recently dropped her latest track — “Flaws” — that features a 90s R&B vibe coupled with urban textures and soulful vocals that effortlessly cruise throughout the 4:20 duration (neo-soul at its finest). The lyricism is definitely a highlight, as VIBE(el) TRIBE brilliantly crafted an upbeat anthem that speaks to the joys of knowing that special someone’s got your back — flaws and everything. CAUTION! The highly addictive hook will have you singing “I’ve got flaws baby.”

Mona is an emerging talent from the Tri-State area with a heavy hip-hop and soul influence. Check out Mona Brea’s “Flaws” here – along with other music under the Voyager Sound collective and follow her social media handles below to keep updated on all of her creative endeavors 👇🏾
