Bloodline Nettwerk Music Group 2026
Mon Rovîa was born in Mon Rovia, Liberia. From his Bandcamp page: " My life can be summed up by being born into a civil war, escaping the life of a child soldier, rescued by the hands of missionaries. Spent a lot of my developmental years living in a variety of places with a number of life experiences. And then layered on top of all of this is the assimilation I felt being a transracially adopted refugee."

Currently based in Chattanooga Tennessee.
