Singing for the third season of the voice has been a blast. Had the opportunity to sing choral for Amanda Brown in her December 3rd performance and will sing for the Semi-final performances which air live Monday December 10th.

Article in the Santa Clarita Valley Signal
I recently spoke with a reporter for the Santa Clarita Valley Signal. They put out an article covering the upcoming Christmas concert I’ll be performing in at Real Life Church December 14th and 15th.
“This production is filled with people at the top of their game…All the performers have such serving hearts,” Donnelly said. “They are humble professionals that want to give their best and want to be used to give a gift back to the community.”
Real Life Church’s annual Christmas concert will be held Dec. 14 and 15 at 7 p.m. at the church on 23841 Newhall Ranch Road.
New Work: Josh Groban’s Forthcoming Album
Recently recorded on four songs for Josh Groban’s new album. They are incredible songs and was blown away by the amazing vocal arrangements by Grammy nominated Roger Treece. While each song has a very different in style, the signature Groban sound grabs the heart in each one. Chairman of Warner Brother’s Music, Rob Cavallo, was incredibly encouraging and hospitable. It was so great getting to know him and the way his musical brain ticks.
A Duet at Capitol Records
I recently wrapped up a duet, with my good friend Fletcher, at the iconic Capitol Records building. Our rendition of “A Whole New World” will debut in an upcoming show at Disneyland Tokyo.
Wow…New WOW Sessions
All puns aside, World of Warcraft Sessions are a total blast. The music is always so intriguing and beautiful and occasionally, at times, challenging! Hooray for singing in 11/8 time!
Behind the Candelabra
Along with this bunch of fine looking young singers, I recently sang on one tune for the upcoming film “Behind the Candelabra,” starring Matt Damon and Michael Douglas (as Liberace), with Marvin Hamlisch composing, and Steven Soderburgh directing. The film is slated to debut on HBO in 2013.
Film Composer: Marvin Hamlisch
Monique Donnelly: Singing as a member on stage ensemble
American Bible Challenge
Singing for “The American Bible Challenge” (to be aired on the Game Show Network) has by far been my most favorite gig, I think ever. It was a solid week (9 episodes) of hanging out with some of the funniest, most talented people I know. PLUS, all the trivia was about my favorite book! …Oh if only I could have been a contestant! (she said, shaking fist to the sky). The host, Jeff Foxworthy, was so kind to us the whole week, he was really great!
The Campaign Session
We had a brief, but rewarding session for the major motion picture “The Campaign”, in late June at the Sony Pictures Scoring Stage. My buddy Fletcher got a chance to conduct the choir as our fearless leader, and the lovely Sally Stevens, graced the mic with the us ladies.
Biffy Clyro Sessions
I recently had the opportunity to sing for the Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro. It was a blast working with these guys. Their much anticipated album “Opposites” is slated for release in 2012.
