A while ago I decided to try and do a series of ‘Duets’ with some fellow musicians and with the help of a phenomenal producer Ryan Hancock (camp fire poets) that idea has become a reality.. Here's the first instalment with the talented singer/ songwriter Sohayla Smith
 This is ‘Something Stupid’ Originally written by Carson Parks, made famous by Frank and Nancy Sinatra.

Something Stupid

I always wanted to do an album of duets and after a couple failed attempts... Ryan said he would do a duet with me! So we both looked around at various songs we could try and cover but we couldn't find anything that would suit our combined voices. 
     We then put pen to paper and set out to write a song. However neither one of us had ever written a duet before, never mind two guys singing a duet!
 I always loved memes that I have seen, specifically the one that says, ( One mans 'I'm not ready. is another mans, I knew it the moment I saw her) 
      You know, something in that same vein. What about the guy who had the woman and lost her because he didn't realize what he had.. and the guy who found her and treasured her right from the moment he met her.
   Hmm, that could work and it did. 
  The result was 'He loves her now' lyric video and song. Hope you like it!

He loves her now

Monty and The Crew
The follow up single to "Gettin Pretty good at being bad'

This wells run dry

Roll the Dice is all about taking chances in Life and rolling the Dice Baby!

Roll the Dice

The first of the new album
I want to be around, was always a favorite of mine, so I wanted to do a cover of it for the New Album!
Coming in June!

I want to be around

When you meet some one new that changes your world

Since I Met You

Take You

This song is exactly as the Title depicts, sometimes a guy just feels like going out and having a drink! right?

I Feel Like Drinking

When you know, deep down, your just a Big Bad Wolf,

Big Bad Wolf

This is the first Single for Monty and The Crew.
 Getting pretty goo at being bad, is a song about exactly that!

Getting pretty good at being bad

My newest Single in time for the Christmas season! I always loved this song and always wanted to do a version of it!
  I did it a little Rockabilly style!

In early 2014 Monty teamed up with Mark Zubek to
help bring his original music to fruition. The first song
"I Just Want to Dance" was created with the funding
help of the FACTOR demo grant. With this first
single, the duo landed licensing agreements with
MUSIC OF THE SEA INC, ZILAH PUBLISHING and HD
MUSIC NOW. It was also chosen as the theme song
for the hit TV show “Donny!” on the USA Network!
Furthermore, through promotion efforts many jazz
and adult contemporary stations have picked up the
single across Canada, the U.S. and Europe, which
prompted new performance opportunities in Poland.
Due to the success of these singles, Monty was able
to market two of his earlier albums on iTunes,
Amazon and many other media outlets. The albums
continue to sell steadily at home and abroad.
With over 300 exciting live performances under his
belt in just the last few years, Monty has developed a
respectable social media following with over 40,000
followers and loyal fans, and the numbers keep
climbing. In addition to his rising popularity, in 2017
he was nominated for his second TIMA award for
Jazz Artist of the Year and his song “I Just Want to
Dance” was once again picked up for sync placement,
this time on the Anthony Patch Show.
Thanks to the generosity of the Ontario Arts Council, Monty will fulfill his goal in 2018 to make his fifth full-length
album of original jazz material with hit songwriter/producer Mark Zubek (Grammy winner Betty Carter) and with The
Joe Lucchetta Jazz Band backing him up, he’s gearing up for a fantastic year of unforgettable live performances! He
also has a music video in the pipeline for one of his new singles, so it’s pretty clear this loveable crooner has no plans
on slowing down any time soon!
