Born 24 years ago, and with a short trajectory, but breaking the mold, DJ Monik is forever polishing her skills to become one of the best female DJ in Latin America. Her too- base influence in getting involved in music from her childhood was her father, who was a new-musician. Later, that same vocation what was drove Monik to percussion and guitar.
