Monday Michiru, so named to reflect both her Japanese and American Italian heritages, started her music endeavors studying classical flute then expanded to singing and songwriting. Her 1987 debut in Japan was not in music but as an actress which garnered her Best New Actress awards allowing her to expand her career acting in movies, stage theater and television, as well as hosting her own radio programs and modeling for major commercial ads. Since her 1991 solo record debut, Monday has consistently released albums on an annual basis both for her solo works as well as the featured guest on various artists’ projects internationally. Her musical style runs the gamut from house to jazz to Latin to soul, an undefinable hybrid that is undeniably her’s. Her return to Club Bonafide celebrates the new release of a double CD compilation of previous works entitled “Portraits In Time 2002-2013” – each of her 3 consecutive monthly performances will showcase a different side of Monday’s music which is reflected in the album.

“At a time when music is in a state of flux mostly as a result of the virtual collision of idioms and metaphors, it is a joy to hear the voice of Monday Michiru.” – Latin Jazz

“… She’s got that certain crossover appeal that is fluent in urban R&B, contemporary jazz, Rock in infectious Brazilian rhythms, resulting in music that’s not easily categorized, yet is thoroughly engaging.” – All About Jazz

“Michiru has been able to parlay her pedigree into a significant career of her own, staking a place within jazz as singer and composer crafting danceable but artistically significant Brazilian flavored acid jazz and soul with an underground flare… Multi talented with a lot to show for it, Monday Michiru’s lack of any commercial success in the American market is a bit baffling and uncompromising “Soulception” likely won’t break her into it. But that’s on us Americans, not her. The few Yanks who will find this record are likely to consider themselves lucky that they did.” – Latin Jazz Network

“Michiru’s highly polished voice is is born to the intricate rhythms and soulful possibilities of the jazz idiom as Ella Fitzgerald’s or Dionne Warwick’s, but taps into the Brazilian sultriness of Bebel Gilberto and Gal Costa.” – Daily OM
