Award-winning Music for Families

Artist Biography
Parents' Choice Gold Award winner Lisa Monet, popular children’s singer-musician, along with fellow artist/engineer/ husband Rick St. Charles, have received another national Parents’ Choice Foundation award for their newest CD Tingaleyo.    This award-winning team has produced five other albums for children. Each features Monet’s warm vocals, lush harmonies, rhythmic guitars and dancing percussion, including the classic best-seller Circle Time, songs and rhymes for the very young.  


Hailed by Billboard Magazine as one of the “Five Leading Ladies of Children’sMusic” Lisa Monet inspires both children and adults with traditional and original songs brimming with enthusiasm for life and friendship. Her style reflects an extensive performance career: classical, folk, rock, and Latin ensembles, from university halls in Spain to the Troubador in Los Angeles, and shared billing with Norton Buffalo, Ella Jenkins, James Cotton, Michael Franti,  and many others. A native Californian and a multi-credentialed teacher, she first studied classical guitar as a child in Argentina, and has lived, studied and performed in Argentina, Spain, and Mexico.


A best-selling artist with Music for Little People for twenty years, Monet is now with the independent label Circle Sound Productions.  Daughter Genevieve, an Arcata Arts Institute graduate, is the graphic artist of the cover and inserts to Tingaleyo and My Best Friend, and son Matt, a feature film director/editor, is the technical consultant.
