Monaleo is an American rapper and songwriter based in Houston. She released her debut single, "Beating Down Yo Block," on February 24, 2021.

Monaleo always had dreams of turning her interest in music into a career, even though she wasn’t sure what that would look like. She grew up in Houston between Mo City and Richmond singing and playing piano at church, and performed at family gatherings at the encouragement of her mother. But it would be through her younger brother that she made her first foray into rapping.
