Monique Marissa Lukens

Monique's been performing on stage since age of 3 1/2. Ultimately a shy girl, performing was a way to come out of her shell. Monique went on to become a part-time radio personality during her college years & had her own radio show then on up 'til '09, when she took up more to creating Youtube videos to communicate important causes. After receiving her "MFA in Theatre"from New York's "Sarah Lawrence College," Monique's pursued an eclectic mix of performance art genres & created several campy dance music songs with social messages. (Being of "Revolutionary War" hero / "Declaration of Independence" signer, Patrick Henry's lineage, she inherited his freedom-fighting spirit) Monique also has several dance tracks on major labels. Monique is a member of "Screen Actors Guild". She wrote, produced, & performed in her own 2-hour mystery / dramedy entitled, "Murder Under A Porch (No Killing Involved)" in Phila. NJ. Don't worry, no one actually gets hurt! Monique doesn't believe in violence. A vegetarian since 2001, & for vegan, as of 2006, (mostly raw vegan since '09), she fulfilled a 1,000 volunteer signature gathering to lessen farm animal abuse in CA, & produced, hosted, & sang in her own "Hollywood Music Awards Electronica Showcase / Prop 2 Awareness Party!" All these actions helped in passing the "Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act" as well as granted her with the 2008 title "Hollywood Music in Media Awards Best Techno/Electronica Artist." She also placed a progressive trance song in "Coming & Going," directed by Edoardo Ponti. She is a raw vegan advocate & produces Earth Day Raw Vegan Outreachs to help get this compassionate health word out. Currently, she is committed to gathering more signatures for a new California Ballot Initiative to make all California farm animals cage-free.
