[Watch #SpecMagNC] Victoria Monét Gets Nod As Singer & Songwriter At ‘Soul Train Awards’
Victoria Monét, singer and songwriter, is nominated for this year’s “SOUL TRAIN AWARDS” Best New Artist & THE ASHFORD AND SIMPSON SONGWRITER’S AWARD for co-writing Chloe & Halle’s “Do It.” In this episode of #SpecMagShorts, Monét talks about being nominated in two categories, who she desires her music career to surpass, and what’s we can expect from her in 2021. The 2020 “SOUL TRAIN AWARDS” airs Sunday, November 29, 2020, at 8 pm ET simulcast on BET, BET Her, VH1, and MTV2.
Victoria Monét is the epitome of a modern artist – a talented, multi-dimensional, and versatile singer, songwriter, and dancer; an artist that actually lives up to the hype. According to her Spotify page, her unique and truthful perspective showcases her duality; fresh and familiar, sexual and substantial; a feeling of nostalgia blended with modern and youthful aesthetics. Today, Monét is responsible for some of the biggest hits in contemporary pop, hip-hop, and R&B for top 40 and critical darlings alike, from Nas and T.I. to Ariana Grande. Her songwriting is just an extension of her ability to shine as an artist in her own right.
As a queer woman of color working in a landscape that still actively pigeonholes artists with marginalized identities, Monét is familiar with playing multiple roles. Her music and art play with the idea of gender roles, themes of femininity, and owning one’s own sexuality.
