Today we’d like to introduce you to Francesca Monzon.
Hi Yadi, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
Drawing has been my escape ever since I can remember. It kicked off as a simple source of joy, just something I did for fun. But as the people around me – family and friends – started cheering on my doodles, it gave me a boost of confidence. High school came around, and my grades were nothing extraordinary. That’s when the idea hit me: why not aim for an art college and let my love for drawing shine?
So, I took the plunge into the world of fine arts, and I’ve been on that journey ever since. Turning my passion into a craft has been a fulfilling pursuit—one that’s taught me that building a career around your love for art is a pretty remarkable journey.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
1.Communication 2.Risk Taking/Faith
3.Community
These 3 areas are valuable in every aspect of my life. The ability to communicate with others, especially from different backgrounds. Having transparent communication with yourself and whomever you acknowledge as God in your life. That helped develop a strong sense of faith that allowed me to make certain decisions and moves in life that seemed to be risky to others who were not privy to my internal dialogue. And each place I find myself on my journey, I meet new people and establish meaningful connections that help strengthen my support system. Building your own thriving social ecosystem is impactful because the journey is not always easy and you will need people you can fall back on.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
The biggest discipline I am focused on in my profession is the mastery of time. Time is the most valuable currency we have. As am a producer, multi-instrumentalist, and non-profit professiona, l am juggling a variety of tasks and projects that require equal attention to detail, creative vision, and team work. Learning how to juggle all of my ideas and execute accordingly is a work in progress.
My first studio album is in production. This project taps into the consciousness of the lonely/isolated, telling the stories of self-discovery, self-awareness, and transformation. My co-producer, Skitzo, and I wanted to sonically juxtapose synthetic and realistic sounds to support the dualistic themes of man and machine and moving from solitude and servitude. We approached this by creating moments where songs were powerfully supported with instrumentation /vocals, and moments with a minimalistic approach to arrangement and sounds. We blended Jazz with
