About

Monique Lesley is a professional singer & certified Vocal Coach born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. She founded Diamond Vocal Coaching based on her dream of teaching people how to sing. Monique always believed that people can find their singing voice, even if they feel that they don't have the natural talent for it. 

​

Monique has been part of Total Praise, the biggest choir part of EBC (Emmanuel Baptist Church) since 2010. She started off as Soprano section leader for 5 years before working her way up to becoming an official Worship Leader. Along with leading Total Praise, Monique also led the choir's worship teams: DOJ (Daughters of Judah) & ROC (Reflections of Christ). 

Nowadays, outside of managing DVC, Monique works as a Children's Choir Director, teaching children from ages 3-12 years how to properly sing together. She also teaches the kids how to write lyrics, practice with instruments and study musical notes. Monique believes that music & art are always a great addition to a child's education. 

 

However, Monique doesn't sing just to entertain. She aims to inspire and offer hope to people through her voice. Monique never claims that she is perfect; she puts all of her emotions (and her soul) into her singing.

One of the biggest goals of Diamond Vocal Coaching is to help singers find their "life's song"; their singing should tell their full story!
