he invited her to come to Los Angeles and audition for a new girl group he was forming, Purple Reign. The group landed a record deal with Motown a year later, but was dropped before releasing any music. After the group’s disbandment, Monet turned to songwriting to earn money while she waited for her own music career to build up.
The first song she worked on was a track for Diddy Dirty Money’s 2010 album, Last Train to Paris. She continued to write song hooks and sang the demos herself before sending them out. Her hope was that the labels would like her version enough that they would keep her on the track as a feature.
Monét has written songs for a number of artists including Nas, Ariana Grande, Fifth Harmony, T.I., GOOD Music, Lupe Fiasco, Chrisette Michele, Coco Jones, Chris Brown, and Diddy — Dirty Money. In 2019, Monét received two Grammy Award nominations for Album of the Year for her work on Grande’s Thank U, Next and Record of the Year for “7 Rings”
