About aja monet
Aja Monet is a visionary poet, writer, and activist whose jazz-rooted recordings -- as both a headliner and in-demand collaborator -- center themes of Blackness, feminism, liberation, and social justice. The Brooklyn-raised, Los Angeles-based artist was a Nuyorican Poets Café Grand Slam winner and an NAACP Image Award-nominated writer by the time she made her full-length debut on the Drink Sum Wtr label with When the Poems What They Do (2023), a Grammy-nominated album she produced with Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah. Three years later, she issued her follow-up, The Color of Rain (2026), made with a different group of players and co-production from Meshell Ndegeocello and Justin Brown. By the time the second LP saw release, Monet's extensive list of featured appearances included material from Gerald Clayton, Eryn Allen Kane, Tank and the Bangas, and Saul Williams.
