Stay tuned in at http://www.monicadockery.com for updates on that project as well as on my Youtube for behind the music footage.

I love good music.  I try to make good music. Love sharing it on here and meeting other talented artists.  I have an eclectic style, I love all genres and like to collaborate with all walks of life:).  My first EVER album was released on October 15, 2013.  I poured my heart and soul into it.  Each song has been written and produced by yours truly (w/ the exception of a few of the drum tracks donated by some of my SC friends and a rap features by my good friends Ben Z, Dash the Baptist, TheNamesMillen). I wanted to produce/mix it myself because I wanted my first album to be a true reflection of me and my current level of skill/ability in all areas (even if it shows my weaknesses).  To me, authenticity is key and so is challenging oneself.  I think you'll find something in there to connect to...at least that is my hope.  Thank you to everyone who has inspired/encouraged me on here, without you, I would have never grown to find my own voice and to go through the work of putting this album together.  So BIG THANK YOU!!!  The album (free streaming) is at http://www.monicadockery.bandcamp.com.

TELPOCH 
Música Mexicana de Fusión

Surge en el año 2005 a partir de la inquietud de promover y difundir los valores culturales existentes en México, principalmente las costumbres musicales; tomando como referencia toda la herencia cultural de nuestros antepasados y de los músicos que aun la mantienen viva en comunidades apartadas y festividades locales. Esta herencia es el punto medular que tomamos para crear un nuevo espectáculo mexicano enfatizando elementos de nuestra cultura y mezclándolos con estilos diversos.

Nuestra intención de fusionar la música mexicana con otras tendencias tiene la finalidad de mostrar las posibilidades de desarrollo que esta disciplina tiene y a su vez la empatía al mestizaje cultural, debido a que sus orígenes radican en una mezcla; por lo tanto, para mantenerse vigente debe estar en constante cambio y movimiento.
