Born and raised in Tripoli, Monà's passion towards music started with violin lessons at an early age. She then joined the Lebanese Higher Conservatory of Music to sharpen and enrich her skills as a violinist. It was at the conservatory where she first got introduced to the world of opera and classical singing. Her musical and vocal education were then continued at the Antonine University – Baabda. Italy was next on the list, and it was where she got her Masters degree in opera singing from Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali – G. Biccialdi. Aside from music, Monà holds a B.Sc. Of Public Health and Development Sciences, and a Masters in Public Health and Epidemiology. She currently lives in her beloved Beirut where she sings and teaches singing.
