Monique’s artistry has taken her across the United States and internationally — performing as a featured soloist, a revered National Anthem singer, and in a performance partnership with her husband, Danny Hester, professional bodybuilder and the first-ever Classic Mr. Olympia title holder. She has also appeared as a motivational speaker and as a featured vocalist in several jazz ensembles.

​Her original compositions have been showcased in live bodybuilding events, fitness media, independent films, internet radio, and both Christian radio and television. Deeply committed to service and compassion, Monique has lent her voice to causes and communities including senior and assisted living homes, the Orange County Sheriff’s Fallen Officers Memorial, Children’s Hospital of Orange County, the Queen of Hearts Foundation, the Los Angeles Mission, and as a worship leader.
