Inside, the “Just Write For me” singer talks about being guarded, how she wanted to be recognized and calling shots with Dallas Austin, touching countless women, and some young men with her music and message, being a muse of Chanel‘s Karl Lagerfeld, being called an “underdog” and much more. Below and on the next page are some excerpts:
On being guarded:
âPeople wouldnât really be able to imagine the things Iâve seen and been through,â says Monica Brown, in response to the suggestion that sheâs guarded. âMy talent has always been there, along with the spiritual foundation my mother laid, but there was always another side, a side that belonged to the streets. When my parents divorced, I became two different people.â
On how she wanted to be recognized and calling shots with producer Dallas Austin:
âDallas would bring producers in the studio to play records for me and Iâd be quick to say âNoâ if I didnât feel it. I knew who I was and what I wanted to say.â âThatâs where âMiss Thangâ came from. Heâd say, âMiss Thang donât like it!ââ
