It’s 10am in Los Angeles and Victoria Monét is in full glam. At least, she says she is. All I can see is an ominous black screen and two words in bold: THE JAGUAR. Contradicting her fearsome alter ego, Monét’s voice is a purr not a growl – the alias a reference to her debut studio album, Jaguar II.
When we speak, the 35-year-old’s name is trending on social media. Less than 24-hours prior, a little known singer by the name of Beyoncé credited Monét as one of her favourite artists right now.
