Connected as Monifa Harris (691 friends)
This emerging artist started her operatic journey in 2001 when she became obsessed with the physical expression of music many call singing. Opera (the ultimate manifestation of singing) became her medium of choice when she discovered her visceral experience could be transferred to her audience with this music more effectively than any other.
