The Music of Monallo
He overcame a near fatal car accident and later serious vocal chord issues that left him wondering if he would ever be able to talk again, much less sing. Now Monallo is fully recovered and one of today’s rising Trop Rock stars, having been named the 2024 Horizon Award winner by the Trop Rock Music Association.
With hits such as Moonlight, Sunrise Vibes, He’s Gone Coastal, Live by the Sea, and Everything’s Beachy, Monallo is solidly one of today’s top Trop Rock singers and songwriters. In this Beach Maniac Island Music Podcast episode, Monallo tells the stories behind his biggest hits and shares insights on his songwriting, performing, production and social media skills. Above all, he says, he just loves creating and performing.
