Biography

Monique C. Baisden is a multifaceted Creative Executive (Executive Producer, Singer, Songwriter, Screenwriter, and Creative Director) with almost 20 years of experience in multiple industries, including the Education, Music, TV, and Film industries.

A native and resident of Atlanta, GA, Monique is a graduate of Clark Atlanta University where she graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education. Upon graduation, she taught for 4 years in the Atlanta Public Schools System. Several years later, she obtained her Master of Arts in Communications and Leadership Studies from Gonzaga University, and worked for various corporate, higher education, nonprofit, startup and consulting companies, as well as, her own previously formed businesses.

Monique’s musical career began at an early age. She began singing at the age of 3 in her church choir, and has sung in choirs, praise teams and ensembles throughout her adult life. She started taking piano lessons at the age of 4. At the age of 8, she began playing the clarinet, and at the age of 11 she began playing the violin, which she played throughout middle school and high school.

Monique has had the gift of writing and storytelling since her childhood years, which is the time that she first began conceptualizing and writing fictional short stories and poetry. However, she didn’t realize that she had the gift of songwriting until 2008, and at that time, she began to write songs in consideration for placements for both independent and major recording artists in multiple genres, and joined BMI. In 2010, Monique began to teach herself to produce instrumental music, using her musical knowledge she had previously gained while playing the piano, clarinet, and violin. In 2015, Monique founded The ProWriters, a talented team of singers, songwriters and a producer whose main goal is to create good, quality, timeless music in all genres. In 2021, Monique became a voting member of SAGMA (Stellar Awards Gospel Music Academy). As a songwriter and music creator, Monique believes in creating timeless “music with a message”, regardless of whether she is writing a song for an artist or writing a song for theatre.

In 2020, Monique founded 4 The Kingdom Entertainment where she also serves as Executive Producer, Creative Director, Singer, and Songwriter. 4 The Kingdom Entertainment is an entertainment company with a collective of purpose-driven singers, musicians, songwriters, directors, composers, and producers who work with clients to conceptualize, write, direct, and produce inspirational and faith-based songs, albums, music videos, and hybrid and virtual plays and productions for individual clients, theatres, and nonprofit and faith-based organizations. 4 The Kingdom Entertainment’s latest project is a global social justice and human rights anthem which Monique wrote entitled “Enough Is Enough”. She co-produced the music for this song, as well as, served as the Executive Producer and Co-Director for the advocacy music video.

Outside of using her creative talents with 4 The Kingdom Entertainment, Monique is a professional singer who sings with the Atlanta-based, SEEiT Choir, a corporate, performance choir that has appeared in television shows, movies, and performed at other notable and highly acclaimed events. During her tenure with The SEEiT Choir, Monique has had the opportunity to sing and perform at Harry Belafonte’s “Many Rivers to Cross” Concert and the Sweet Auburn Festival, as well as, appear on episodes of Jermaine Dupri’s “The Rap Game” and the FOX TV show, “STAR”.  In addition, Monique and The SEEiT Choir have sung and appeared in Tyler Perry’s “A Madea Family Funeral” and “A Fall From Grace”, and for the CBS Pre-Show for Super Bowl LIII.

Furthermore, Monique is the host and producer of “The Purpose-Driven Dreamchasers Podcast” which can now be heard on iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, Soundcloud, Blubrry, and Anchor, and viewed on her Monique C. Baisden YouTube channel.

Finally, she is an Executive Producer, Screenwriter, and Writers’ Room Host for Remnant TV Global, a faith-based, family-oriented streaming TV network that will launch in late 2021.
