A duo shaped by fate and distance, Monroe & She craft sweeping sonic landscapes where Matt Monroe’s massive guitar clouds and spherical ambient waves merge with Lea Leone’s hauntingly ethereal voice. Their music drifts between shoegaze, alternative rock, post-rock, and indie, balancing on the thin line between melancholy and hope, introspection and catharsis.
Their story is as cinematic as their sound. Born only a few hundred meters apart in the east of Switzerland, Matt Monroe and Lea Leone unknowingly carried their music across continents before colliding in a dim Manhattan karaoke bar. Matt’s raw, unfiltered sound, shaped in the heart of Brooklyn, found an unexpected counterpart in Lea’s celestial, otherworldly vocals. Years later, they would learn of their parallel origins – a strange twist of fate echoing through their art.
Now, Monroe & She exist across borders: Matt, the ’Fribourgeois’, based in Zurich, and Lea, calling Costa Rica home. Their music is an unbound, transatlantic force – timeless, evocative, and deeply human.
