Described as "platinum pop of a richly rewarding kind" (Trust the Doc), Sloane Monroe mixes her folk and blues US roots with electronic sounds from the UK Alternative Pop scene.  Inspired by the songwriting of Maggie Rogers, St Vincent and Amy Winehouse, Monroe brings bright strings, thick bass lines and a warm soulful voice to her live audiences.  Singing about love, loss, and frustrations as a woman living in a modern world, Sloane released her debut single 'Made for You' earlier this year.  The tune is a bittersweet ode to falling out of love and witnessing a previous partner find love in the arms of someone else. Recorded between Abbey Road Institute and her home in London, Monroe created a track that reminds us that you can still love someone and let them go.

Born in Florence, Massachusetts (USA), Monroe began playing violin at the age of four, immersing herself in classical and folk music. She was a member of New England Conservatory Prep. School, playing in their orchestras and chamber ensembles. She was also a member of the Boston Youth Philharmonic Orchestra (BPYO), performing in their New York Times critically acclaimed Carnegie Hall debut, conducted by Benjamin Zander. Monroe was a member of the Springfield Youth Orchestra (SYO) as well, serving as concert mistress for two seasons. During this time, Monroe was the winner of both the Rodes Concerto Competition and the SYO Concerto Competition, as well as winning awards in fiddle competitions around the New England area.

While studying Classical Violin Performance at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, Monroe began exploring different genres such as jazz and hip-hop. She moved to London in 2018 to pursue a Masters Certificate in Jazz Violin at Guildhall School of Music.  After her studies, she was awarded a Tier 1 Visa by the UK Arts Council for her to perform and work in the UK music industry.

In 2021, Sloane received the opportunity to study at the Abbey Road Institute. During her time at there, Sloane collaborated with several artists taking on the role of recording engineer, producer, arranger and songwriter. Some of her highlights include producing classical music alongside John Dunkerley in Abbey Road’s Studio One and Two, arranging string quartets for artist Le Montais, and engineering for Jazz drummer Romarna Campbell and spoken word artist DemiMa Nokusa Mseleku. She also received the opportunity to record two of her original songs with producer Haydn Bendall in Studio Two at Abbey Road and Studio One at Angel Studios.

Sloane is an active session violinist, teacher, and arranger, working with artists like YUNGBLUD, Jamie Campbell Bower, Ben Folds and Antwon Stanley.  She is looking to continue developing her unique sound as an artist and engineer, all while pushing the boundaries of how strings present themselves in the world of pop and rock music.
