Raised in College Park, Georgia, she began performing as a child and joined a traveling gospel choir by age ten. She signed with producer Dallas Austin's Rowdy Records in 1993 and released her debut studio album Miss Thang in 1995, which established her as an emerging R&B voice. Her breakthrough came with her second album The Boy Is Mine (1998), her best-selling record, which spawned three Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles: "The Boy Is Mine" (featuring Brandy), "The First Night", and "Angel of Mine". After departing Arista and Rowdy Records, she joined Clive Davis's J Records in 2000. Her fourth album After the Storm (2003) became her first to debut atop the US Billboard 200, with its lead single "So Gone" peaking at number ten. Subsequent albums The Makings of Me (2006) and Still Standing (2010) charted at numbers eight and two respectively, with the latter earning two Grammy nominations. Her seventh album New Life (2012) debuted at number four despite critical backlash. Beyond music, she appeared in television series including Living Single (1996), Felicity (2001), and American Dreams (2003), and films such as Boys and Girls (2000) and Love Song (2000). She served as an advisor for NBC's The Voice in 2008 and starred in her own reality series Monica: Still Standing on BET.
