Sessions 10.17.24 @ Songbirds, Part 1 | Mon Rovîa | TEDxChattanooga Salon
Featured songs: Bone; To Watch the World; Crooked the Road Born in Mon Rovîa, Liberia but now based in Chattanooga, TN, his early life can be summed up by being born into a civil war, escaping the life of a child soldier, then being rescued by missionaries. He spent his developmental years living in a variety of places ultimately granting him a variety of life experiences. Layered on top of that are his feelings being a transracially adopted refugee. His music is a culmination of all of these experiences blended with the empathy he feels for others. Truly, the mission of his music is to heal with others—with every nation and tongue, in due time.
