Raised across California, Connecticut, Kansas, North Carolina, and England, Monroe’s diverse upbringing informs his wide-ranging musical influences. Now based in Nashville, he describes his sound as firmly rooted in country while drawing from a broad spectrum of styles. “I’m not linear in my approach,” he explains. “My influences run from A to Z, but my home base will always be country because it’s about songs, not hype.”
