Her parents, Francisco, a construction worker and Patricia a housewife, migrated from southern Spain (Seville and Málaga) to the north in the 1960s.

The album resulted in the hit singles "Sola", "Solo se vive una vez", "El amor coloca", "Supernatural", "¡Óyeme!"

This success in Spain enabled the singer to return to her home country, and to perform in numerous TV programmes.

In 2001, she released Chicas Malas, an album with several collaborations, among them Diane Warren, Gregg Alexander, John Reid, Cliff Masterson, Sam Watters, and many more.

The international push met very little support, although the song "I Ain't Gonna Cry" did get Mónica some recognition in continental Europe.

After feeling overwhelmed by the music industry in general, and after thinking about her own personal life and career, the performer took the decision of moving away from the stages.

[6] In 2005, after a long musical rest, Mónica briefly returned with a greatest hits album, Colección Privada, a big success that also included one new release "Enamorada de ti".

In 2011, she sang the theme song for Mexican telenovela Emperatriz and in 2012, she released A Opera-Rock, accompanying a novel in Spanish with a few strokes in other languages.

In 2014, Mónica was part of the jury of the programme Tu cara me suena (Your face sounds familiar to me) which was broadcast by Antena 3.

That same year, she was also a juror in the Spanish selection for the Eurovision Song Contest, which was won by Ruth Lorenzo, with whom she would perform in future concerts.

[10] In 2020, the singer presented the popular but at the same time controversial reality show "La isla de las tentaciones" (Temptation island) and also performed the opening theme of the program.

[11] At the same time, she worked on the second volume of the EP series "Mes Excentricités" entitled "Les quatre saisons".
