Mona Veum Bækkelund

Mona Veum Bækkelund is a Norwegian Soul/Rock singer. First and foremost she fronts as a lead singer for several soul/pop bands (events, festivals, scene), but also hired for backing vocals (live and recordings), advertising/radio jingles, TV (Beat for Beat etc.), touring with Concerts Norway, which is a concert activity subsidized by the government.

Mona's voice has been described as a mix of the soul of Aretha Franklin and Amy Winehouse, the spirit of Janis Joplin, the energy of Beth Hart and the vulnerability of Radka Toneff. Norwegian press and audience has been predicting her an international career since she started singing professionally in her early twenties.
