Meet Sadie Monroe

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Sadie Monroe. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Sadie, so happy you were able to devote some time to sharing your thoughts and wisdom with our community. So, we’ve always admired how you have seemingly never let nay-sayers or haters keep you down. Can you talk to us about how to persist despite the negative energy that so often is thrown at folks trying to do something special with their lives?

I use haters as fuel. It takes a lot of work on yourself to not get hurt in the fire though. You have to know who you are so projections just roll right off of you. I will say feeling underestimated or overlooked at times in my life only ended up blessing me in the end because I could never let it go. I will never let them be right even though opinions are subjective anyway.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

I’m a country pop artist based in Los Angeles. I write and sing songs about everything from growing up in the south as the only poc in most cases to my life now as a young woman navigating pursuing a childhood dream and dating in a town full of Peter Pans. Currently, I have a summer mixtape coming out this summer on August 9th that I’m really excited about. As my music is predominantly country, I tend to write a lot of slow, sad songs but for the moment, I really wanted to challenge myself to write a handful of bops like the ones I always love to listen to on repeat every year when summer rolls around.

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?

I think at this point, I’ve grown a pretty high level of resilience when it comes to chipping away at things that take time. I’ve had a few people mention to me that my work ethic stands out to them from many people they know. I’ve always tried to stay humble when it comes to getting things done – no matter how non-glamorous the thing is. Additionally, I’d say I have a good sense of humor even in less fortunate times, I always find a way to laugh about things and I believe it has gotten me through hard times more than I maybe realized looking back. I’m no guru but if someone asked me for advice on how to best improve in any area but especially when starting something new, I’d say take notes from every situation and encounter. I believe there’s always room for improvement so the only place to “get to” so to speak is further than you were before.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?

At this time, I don’t have any collaborations or features on the books but I’m certainly open to it if it make sense. For instance, I’d love to do a song with a person in Pop, R&B or Rock. Even country if they were more traditional and folky in their sound than my pop/r&b vibe. For me, I was raised listening to so many different genres of music so I love the idea of marrying the things that I love the most into my own artistic cocktail rather than trying to fit inside one box. I feel most artists I know would say the same thing almost.
